Great Saturday Nibblers!

After juggling the idea of running a crowdfunding campaign for Synaptic Protocol, I’ve decided to stick to my original plan: the game officially launches on September 1st, 2025, to coincide with the Mecha Mini-Games/Firebrands Jam hosted by Backwards Tabletop and ehronlime.

That means no waiting, no drawn-out campaigns—just straight to the good stuff.

Here’s the Excellent News:

When you buy Synaptic Protocol, you’re not just getting a one-off download. Your download link is built to evolve.

• Every supplement,
• Every new optional rule,
• Every expansion or add-on tied to Synaptic Protocol

…will be added directly to your download link over time.

You pay once, and you’ll always have access to all Synaptic Protocol content… forever.

No hidden costs. No nickel-and-diming. Just one purchase, and the game keeps growing with you.

What is Synaptic Protocol?

A solo journaling game of mechs, memory, and identity crises. Ironically, don’t expect to be shooting and fighting. You’re not even piloting it… yet. In Synaptic Protocol, you’re undergoing a procedure to synchronize your mind with your mech’s Eidolon Persona Core (ECP). When the procedure begins, the bond destabilizes, and you’re thrown into a spiral of hallucinations, corrupted memories, and sensory glitches. Your mission? Piece yourself back together before your mind fractures completely.

One deck of cards becomes your fragmented memories and twisted sensory inputs.

A d10 and your journal guide you through reconstructing your past while the ECP digs deeper.

Optional rules and future add-ons crank up the replayability, giving each playthrough a new flavor.

It’s strange. It’s personal. It’s messy. And it’s meant to stay with you.

Mark Your Calendars

September 1st, 2025 — download day.

Synaptic Protocol is an evolving game that will continue to surprise you long after your first playthrough. It doesn’t matter if you’re here for the mechs, the memories, or the madness: this one’s going to leave a mark.

Stay tuned, Nibblers. The Protocol is almost ready to initiate…
