DLCLOCKDOWN Protocol - ContrastLoading store offers
LOCKDOWN Protocol
The central appeal is a group trying to finish tasks while hidden dissidents work against it, making communication and suspicion matter together. At ≈ $8.02 from 
GAMIVO, the practical question is whether you can bring people together for that dynamic; the listed player range runs from 1 to 16, and Steam records single-player as well. At $9.99 on Steam, weigh the cost against how often your group can gather for a multiplayer session.

A fun game to play with friends. Current state of the game is very polished. My only complaint would be that the gameplay doesn't change much so I feel that there needs to be a new map or two soon.Show moreShow less

You are in early access. Don't start putting out paid cosmetic dlcs already. Less than 6 months in early access and you have paid cosmetics hitting. This is a terrible practice.Show moreShow less

• Releasing DLC that is the same price as the game while the game is in early access is a wild choice. • Releasing colors as a DLC when there are "plans" to make a 16 player map where you will need more colors is a wild choice. • Claiming the team working on the DLC did not take away resources from the team working on content updates and fixes is a wild choice. • Not addressing the "modders" who ruin public lobbies is a wild choice. • Releasing the DLC for purchase before releasing the update that enables them is a wild choice. Unfortunately this game is feeling more and more like a cash grab every time the devs release a statement. The game is a lot of fun but I would not be surprised if the devs just disappear and completely abandon the game once people stop buying their $20 DLC.Show moreShow less

I hope the devs see this review. IF you want your game to succeed in the long run, take some notes from what happened with among us. They took way too long to release new content for the game and let their game become repetitive. A couple things that need to be fixed at the moment: joining lobbies tend to be hit or miss, I often get "Return to Solo" like 70% of the time, maybe you could also add an option that lets you see if the game is on going or if they're still in the lobby. My game also crashes but just shows "Fatal Error" However, it's a very fun game and recommend everyone to try it.Show moreShow less

I love this game, and it's one of my all time favorite social deduction games. I love the proximity voice chat, I love being able to play as dissident and win as a pacifist by hiding key items, even letting you win when dead if employees can't finish in time, I love the character customization and animations. It's a great game and amazing fun with friends. However, with the recent announcement from the devs, I cannot in good conscience recommend this game. The devs announced that they're calling the game done and moving on to other projects, and did so with a very disrespectful tone towards players and fans of the game. As an example of this, here is an excerpt from this announcement regarding their roadmap, which included goals such as new game modes, a new map, new tasks, and a handful of craftable items: "The goals mentioned earlier were part of our Kickstarter campaign, and even the first milestone was reached with some difficulty. Since we didn’t reach the others, we simply focused on finishing the game as quickly as possible so we could move on to the next project." It's a very bold statement, because to me it both says they don't care about the game, nor the money fans of it invested into the development of it. They've even gone as far as wiping all evidence of the aforementioned road map from their website and social media. I sympathize with wanting to move on to new projects, but ending development on this one in such a disrespectful way is not a good look for those future projects.Show moreShow less

Better than Among Us. This game is not only involved enough to make it interesting, but the mental gymnastics that ensue are fun and hilarious. Discovered this game through and youtube video and pitched it to my friend group and needless to say we've been having a blast. The way you play as the dissident is much more interesting than the standard impostor stuff with Among Us. First person makes it so you can be caught off guard, gives the baddies more opportunity to get away with things, plus the ability to find weapons is a huge game changer for innocents and baddies alike. Sabotaging stuff is way more involved than just clicking a button. You can hide things needed to complete tasks, making it much harder for employees to complete them and giving the traitors time to either play innocent and wait the time out or kill off the good guys. The game doesn't stop when the dissidents are killed, leaving it with an air of mystery of if they got them or not. Overall, I would say that it has a lot of potential to be an even better game. The care and thought put into each task, the teamwork required to do said tasks rather than just doing them alone, or the ability to be independent and complete tasks by yourself if you so desire is nice. You can work out a solid balance of how long you want the match to be, how many dissidents, how many tasks and how many of each task. You can even just make it a task simulator with no dissidents and see how fast you can complete them in the given time. I can't wait to see this game develop. I'm hoping for more maps, maybe the option to customize your model (maybe just the skintone/face and leave the color random), and anything else the developer decides to add.Show moreShow less

It had so much potential, however the devs released 0 content updates in over 2 years and pushed cosmetics that are more expensive that the game. Now with the 1.0 Release they say the thing people feared from the start, no more content updates only bugfixes from now on as they move on to making a new game? The ONLY reasonable thing here would be to work on Mod support to keep the community creating content considering you decided not to. This is however confirmed to NEVER happen as per their latest post. Abandonware, Greedy Devs and Horrible game management. DO NOT BUY.Show moreShow less

Game play, proximity chat and the weapons are cool. I would like to be able to friend people in game and also to have some kind of actions as a ghost. Playing music, moving items around small amounts would be nice.Show moreShow less

I have to make a review about this. the game itself is good but the creators just released a DLC where you pay $10 to be a woman. There's so many things I want to say but all I can say is that 10 dollars for a couple incomplete cosmetics is a HUGE cash grab. especially for a DLC to AN EARLY ACCESS GAME. 9.99 base game 4.99 different suit color alterations 4.99 winter suits 9.99 female bodies the price for the base game is fine, infact good. but at most these cosmetic DLC's are worth 50 cents or MAXIMUM a singular US dollar I do not trust this dev team anymore unless they delete the DLC's. new bodysuits just to show off thick thighs is a HUGE turn off. I liked it that everyone was the same with different eyes. its like adding big bazooka cans to an among us character. 100% not necessary dude.. I'll change this review if they rectify this. but I don't condone cash grabbing. EVEN if its optional.Show moreShow less
