About The Callisto Protocol™

✦ AI summary

Battle grotesque mutant creatures and uncover corporate conspiracies in this sci-fi survival horror set in a brutal Jupiter moon prison where inmates transform into bloodthirsty monsters. Blend visceral close-quarters combat with strategic gunplay and a gravity weapon while scavenging for upgrades to survive escalating horrors and escape Black Iron Prison's deadly secrets.

In this narrative-driven, third-person survival horror game set 300 years in the future, the player will take on the role of Jacob Lee – a victim of fate thrown into Black Iron Prison, a maximum-security penitentiary located on Jupiter's moon, Callisto. When inmates begin to transform into monstrous creatures, the prison is thrown into chaos. To survive, Jacob must battle his way to safety to escape Black Iron Prison, while uncovering the dark and disturbing secrets buried beneath the surface of Callisto. Using a unique blend of shooting and close-quarters combat, Jacob will need to adapt his tactics to combat the rapidly evolving creatures while scavenging to unlock new weapons, gear, and abilities to outrun the growing threat and escape the horrors of Jupiter's Dead Moon.

HORROR ENGINEERING


The Callisto Protocol is a next-generation take on survival horror from the mind of Glen Schofield. Blending atmosphere, tension, and brutality with terrifying moments of helplessness and humanity, The Callisto Protocol immerses players in a pulse-pounding story where unspeakable horrors lurk around every corner.

UNCOVER THE SECRETS OF THE UNITED JUPITER COMPANY


Set on Jupiter’s dead moon Callisto in the year 2320, The Callisto Protocol casts players as Jacob Lee, an inmate in Black Iron Prison. When a mysterious outbreak throws the moon into chaos, Jacob must face his darkest fears to defeat the bloodthirsty creatures that stalk him as he unravels the dark mysteries at the heart of the powerful United Jupiter Company.

MASTER BRUTAL, STRATEGIC COMBAT


The Callisto Protocol challenges players to master a thrilling blend of hand-to-hand and ranged combat, including a unique gravity weapon once used by Black Iron guards to control the prison population. Players will be forced to get up close and personal with their grotesque opponents, hacking off limbs, blasting off legs, and getting creative with whatever is at their disposal to survive each life-or-death encounter.

EXPERIENCE THE ISOLATION OF JUPITER'S DEAD MOON


One of the most hostile, isolated environments in the universe, Callisto looms large over Jacob’s desperate struggle to survive. Players must not only contend with the horrors of Black Iron Prison, but also the centuries-old secrets that plague Jupiter’s long-dead moon, both above and below the surface.

Recommended Sep 4, 2026
Personally, I find it better than **Dead Space**. It has everything I want in a game: horror, suspense, a good story, great graphics, and that terrifying atmosphere of deep space. It reminded me of the movie **Alien**. The game is fantastic and definitely worth experiencing. It doesn’t deserve all the harsh criticism it received.

Recommended Sep 6, 2026
I enjoy linear story games as I just simply want to enjoy a decent story, amazing graphics, and an overall solid experience. The combat has much to be desired but overall I really do enjoy this game for what it is.
Recommended Sep 5, 2026
Although it never had a chance to live up to the peak of dead space. It still remain a good game, a solid experience,the biggest issue is complete lack of DLSS implementation.Even after almost 4 years,never been added damn shame!With settings set to max in 4K raster it sometimes drop to 40 fps.Anyway i'm absolutely recommend to play The Callisto Protocol for those, who like this genre.Worth getting on a big sale of course, or perhaps a cheap key like i did for 7€. Overall is 8 out 10 for me all things considered!
Not recommended Sep 3, 2026
one of the most stupid and unbalanced combat system i've ever tried in a survival horror. do yourself a favor, avoid this game and play dead space remake or dead space 2. this game is frustrating and only made me want to replay dead space which is so much better than this rip-off
