Studio Identity
Scourge Studio creates serious, systemic games for players who want tension to come from the world itself.
Current Project
Scourge Protocol
A hardcore open-world tactical survival FPS with extraction-driven operations, RPG progression, companion survival, and multiple ways to survive the ground-zero site of a Russian bioweapon attack on U.S. soil.
The Conflict
Every Operation Carries Risk
Deploy into a low-rise American city transformed by the first strike: black-site containment failures, abandoned infrastructure, careful movement, and extraction operations that punish careless decisions.
Plan operations, secure resources, navigate contested zones, and extract alive to keep your squad operational.
Companions carry injuries, stress, and risk across deployments, turning leadership into a practical responsibility.
RPG progression shapes operator capability, equipment access, and the long-term identity of your squad.
Approach objectives through stealth, negotiation, scavenging, direct action, or careful avoidance.
Safe houses, equipment readiness, and logistics shape every decision before the next operation begins.
Combat emphasizes lethality, suppression, awareness, and the cost of acting on incomplete information.
The Infection
The Infection Changed Everything
The Scourge Protocol shifts the experience from military realism into existential uncertainty. The afflicted remain human, but neurological damage leaves them violent, mindless, and severed from who they were before the attack.
The Scourge agent attacks the nervous system, leaving most victims violent, disoriented, and stripped of higher reasoning.
Threat comes from uncertainty, isolation, exposure risk, and the collapse of reliable intelligence.
Exposure, injury, and limited supplies push each extraction route into a different kind of risk.
Abandoned homes, failed evacuations, emergency broadcasts, and contaminated interiors carry the story of the initial strike.
The Dossier
Intelligence Is Incomplete
The world deepens through fragments: documents, corrupted radio traffic, maps, extraction notes, and black-site reports from the ground-zero investigation.
Radio logs, redacted reports, black-site memos, extraction fragments, and ground-zero references reveal the world in pieces.
Evidence conflicts, records disappear, and operational truth changes depending on which agency controls the file.
Civilian reports, military logs, and classified briefings ground the world in human cost, unreliable intelligence, and unanswered questions.
