Deadlock Protocol

The night the Deadlock Protocol was triggered, Ravenwood became a cage. Now the small Appalachian town is overrun by horrors born from the Ashen Virus. Survive.

Late-night testing inside the Ravenwood Hotel.

Working on guest room environments, lighting systems, interactive props, and atmosphere for DEADLOCK PROTOCOL 👀

Every room in Ravenwood is being handcrafted to feel grounded, lived in, and unsettling once the outbreak begins.

The calm never lasts.

📺 DEADLOCK PROTOCOL – GAMEPLAY RESOLUTION TESTING

We’ve been testing different gameplay resolutions/zoom levels for Deadlock Protocol and wanted to hear your thoughts. 👀

One setup gives players a much larger view of the surrounding environment — useful since some areas in Ravenwood can become pretty large and open.

The other setup is more zoomed in, creating a tighter and more intense survival horror experience with less environmental awareness.

🔍 Wider View
• More visibility
• Easier navigation
• Better awareness of threats/items
• Makes larger maps feel more connected

🔦 Zoomed-In View
• More tension & horror
• Less visibility = more danger
• Feels more cinematic and claustrophobic
• Stronger flashlight atmosphere

Which style do YOU prefer for Deadlock Protocol?

1️⃣ Wider / More Visibility
2️⃣ Zoomed-In / More Horror
