Substratum Protocol will be back in stock soon! It is currently available at:

When the anomaly appeared at the Earth's core, the Substratum Protocol was initiated. You are the best and brightest scientists we have left, our last hope to stem the apocalypse. You are the Substratum Expedition Team. Descend. Learn. Survive.

A solo+ survival mystery RPG using step-down dice and card draw mechanics, Substratum Protocol is playable as both a solo game or guided by a GM for 2–6 players.

Don't forget to grab your Expedition Journal and Character Folios!

With players taking on the role of Earth's best remaining scientists, Substratum Protocol is our entry into the Deep Delving Mystery genre (like Subnautica and In Other Waters).

On their grueling journey to the center of the Earth, members of the Substratum Expedition will overcome challenges, gain clues and knowledge of the anomaly, discover creatures, aliens, cosmic horrors, and ultimately assemble their final hypothesis to overcome the apocalypse looming before them.

The game intertwines hard science fiction with the inescapable, unknowable horrors of an anomaly tearing apart reality.

Great Service and Community Support

We've dealt with Pandion as a local business and as an RPG publisher. Their product is fun, and they have always been responsive and supportive to our store. We are delighted to be able to carry Substratum Protocol and their other games.

Substratum Protocol: Great mood, rules fit

Love this game. Well bound, funny bit on page 43/44, the breathless system really fits the theme. Also, has to be said in this age of Kickstarters ... the game arrived on time as expected.
