Sol Protocol

How co-op works

Online cooperative VR roguelike where players physically share control of one spaceship, dividing piloting, turret operation, and station management tasks while coordinating inside the vessel during procedurally generated runs through hostile stellar systems.

About this game

Sol Protocol is a VR roguelike designed for cooperative crews navigating procedurally generated deep-space systems. Players share control of a single spaceship, coordinating roles as they face environmental hazards, hostile encounters, and abandoned station exploration. Every run presents new challenges that demand spatial awareness and real-time collaboration.

Gameplay centers on physical role distribution inside the vessel. One player steers while another operates turrets or manages critical ship systems. Between combat encounters, crews disembark to explore derelict stations on foot, gathering resources and making strategic decisions that influence the remainder of the run. Success depends on clear communication and synchronized movement within VR space.

The roguelike structure generates fresh systems and obstacles each session, rewarding teams that refine crew roles and adapt tactics across multiple attempts. Loadout experimentation and strategic crew coordination offer depth for groups willing to master the interplay of piloting, combat, and exploration in an immersive VR setting.
