The Kickstarter campaign did not reach its funding goal, but NYX Protocol: Awakening is still in development. We are targeting an August 2027 release on Steam; that window is subject to change.
Read the latest update: The campaign ended. The protocol didn’t.
Our August 2026 campaign
We launched the NYX Protocol: Awakening Kickstarter in August 2026 to help fund development beyond the playable prototype: expanded environments, interaction and progression systems, original audio, accessibility work, performance testing, QA, and release polish.
The campaign presented NYX as a story-driven third-person science-fiction adventure about a discarded machine rebuilding itself—and deciding what its creators deserved. An unedited Level 1 prototype video and a free standalone demo gave players a look at the work in progress.
This page remains as part of the development history. It is no longer an invitation to pledge. The next chapter is about continuing the game with the resources available.
