Description

Arvale Protocol takes you to Arvale City, a walled metropolis of roughly 8.5 billion citizens that has become the world’s most sought-after place to live. Its towering barriers separate the population from the outside world, while technology connects every resident to a far more intrusive system. At birth, each citizen receives a B.D., a brain-implanted supercomputer handcrafted by the corporation A.V.A. The convenience of such advanced technology comes at a steep price: every implant also serves as a government tracking device. You play as Zeno, who wakes up in an underground complex after a deal goes wrong. As you begin to understand your situation, it becomes clear that life in Arvale is nothing like it appears. Above ground, a military-grade virus has been uploaded into every citizen’s B.D., turning the city’s inhabitants into sex-crazed lunatics and exposing the terrifying vulnerability of a population linked by the same technology. Join forces with three other party members and set out to uncover the dark secret behind Arvale’s three main factions. Against a backdrop of invasive surveillance and a citywide crisis, Zeno’s adventure leads into the hidden truths beneath this seemingly desirable place to call home.
