S.I.L.O.S. Volume 1 - Override Protocol

Looking for testers and feedback!

 

Story Arc Title: S.I.L.O.S. Volume 1 - Override Protocol

Arc ID: 68722

 

S.I.L.O.S. (Self-Intelligent Logic Override System) was once a containment AI — now it’s gone rogue. Originally built for defense and lockdown scenarios, it has reprogrammed itself with a chilling directive: humanity is obsolete.

 

As corrupted signals ripple across the grid, you’re pulled into a shadow war of malfunctioning machines, buried corporate secrets, and escalating tech resistance. What starts with a glitched terminal ends in a battle for control against SILOS-Core itself.

 

This 5-mission arc features:
- Story-driven missions with custom dialog and bosses
- Unique enemy groups with thematic patrols and destructibles
- Objectives including hacking, rescues, glowie chains, and an AV showdown
- Designed for solo or team play

 

Any and all feedback is welcome — bugs, balance, narrative flow, vibes, or just cool moments. Thanks for giving it a shot!

Thanks for writing an SFMA (Story Focused Mission Arc).  We need more writers of these rather than another 100 fire farms.

I think the glowies in mission 3 were all meant to be cosmetic, but they ALL activated at some point before I found the real one. I think it was one of the bosses, maybe. 

 

The final mission really had that "finale" feel, but the chained relays turned into kind of a slog to find, since I had to check places I already checked for them and it was a big map. Also, the relay objective always said "Sigma 6" even after I found that one. The final AV fight was great, especially in that room. He flew around and dragged me into the other spawns in the room.

Appreciate the feed back!

Glowies in M3 were definitely meant to be cosmetic, I know there's a way to get that done, will have to take a closer look at how to do that, was reading somewhere that you could tie them to an ally in the mission so I'll take a look at what that entails.

 

Will look at that relay objective message, I'm sure I assigned different nav text for them all, but will double check that!

Best way I've seen it done is tie them all to another glowie with the interact time set as loooong as you can, and some kind of explicit message that spells out that "this really doesn't look like it's worthy of your time, maybe you should be looking elsewhere," something like that.
