Kepler Protocol

About the Game

9 November 1989. The German Kaiserreich has reached the stars.

Colony Eisenstadt. 3,000 souls. Pickelhaube helmets and steam rifles under a copper sky on Kepler-186e. But the planet does not belong to you. Beneath the surface lurks the Ordo Arachnis — an ancient swarm intelligence that devours every intruder.

Venimus, et te vastabimus. — We came, and we shall destroy you.
