In this prison, cigarettes buy information, and information opens doors. Talk to inmates, read patrols and uncover what the institution is hiding. You are not in the register — and someone who officially does not exist is still knocking. First-person stealth with psychological horror underneath.

About This Game

INTAKE COMPLETE


Your transport is not on the schedule. The file contains no name and no charges. The staff behave as if everything is proceeding according to plan.

Someone who officially does not exist is still knocking.

In this prison, cigarettes are currency. Talk to inmates, watch patrols and look for opportunities to slip past the guards.

PROCEDURE ZERO blends first-person stealth with psychological horror. The institution is the enemy. You carry no weapon and you never kill anyone.

WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO


  • Read the routine. Learn what gives you away: sightlines, noise, and the places you are not supposed to be.
  • Listen to people. Talk to prisoners and trade cigarettes for information.
  • Create an opening. Use the radio to draw a guard's attention away.
  • Count the cost. Energy limits how long you can run and stay sharp. Cigarettes are currency. Getting caught costs you cigarettes, never your right to try again.
  • Check the record. Notes and traces in the world say more than the announcements. Decide for yourself who — and what — to believe.

DO NOT FIGHT THE SYSTEM. SURVIVE IT.


The prison follows its own rules. The problem is that none of them can explain your presence.

MADE BY ONE PERSON


PROCEDURE ZERO is being developed by a solo developer in Poland.
