About
The creators of Stasis and Stasis: Bone Totem are taking you on a terrifying journey in Animal Use Protocol.

Armed only with your wits, a gravity manipulation tool, and accompanied by your scrappy rat companion Trip, you’ll stealthily navigate the dystopian Anchorage Station, relentlessly stalked by a monstrous chimera of experiments gone wrong.
Uncover the truth behind what happened here.
Be quick and quiet.
Time is running out…
