DUAL PROTOCOL splits detective work between two players: one explores a noir crime scene gathering evidence while the other analyzes data from a separate terminal, forcing genuine communication to piece together the mystery. Success hinges entirely on describing what you find and interpreting your partner's guidance without shared visuals, making it a collaborative puzzle that rewards clear teamwork over individual skill.
About this game
An asymmetric noir experience where communication is everything. While one player gathers clues on-site, the other provides guidance from analog terminals. Work together without seeing each other's screens to solve a complex murder case in a retro-tech world.

Hello detectives, The wait is over. Dual Protocol: The Case of Eva & Miles is officially available on Steam. The time has come to unearth the truths hidden in the shadows.
