What Is The Callisto Protocol?
The Callisto Protocol is a futuristic survival horror game set in a prison colony on Callisto, a moon of Jupiter. You play as Jacob Lee, a prison there, who finds himself in quite a predicament when his fellow inmates start turning into murderous beasts.
While The Callisto Protocol certainly bears a resemblance to Dead Space and is directed by Glen Schofield, whose previous credits include Dead Space, it also has much in common with God of War 2018. You can check out our interview with Schofield for more details on that.
