Theprotocol Stories

Alex and Léa came to Woodbury Manor to solve a mystery, but they quickly discover that some doors are meant to remain locked. As the manor's non-Euclidean geometry begins to unravel their perception of space and time, the pair finds themselves caught in a terrifying process of biomechanical assimilation. Their humanity is not being destroyed; it is being repurposed. As flesh gives way to clockwork and memories are systematically purged, Alex and Léa are transformed from curious explorers into the house's new Maintenance Protocol, a cold, calculated, and eternal force. This is the story of two lives surrendering to the crushing weight of cosmic duty, charting a descent from visceral human horror to the sterile, absolute indifference of a universal engine. They thought they were investigating a legend. Instead, they became the fuel for a cycle that has no end.
