Black Tide Protocol

“Some things were never meant to rise from the depths.” Earth, 2041. For decades, the Cryptid Response Command (CRC) has secretly protected humanity from supernatural threats hidden beneath the surface of the modern world. From vampiric outbreaks to frozen horrors buried beneath the polar ice, every crisis has been contained before the public ever learned the truth. Now the oceans are awakening. Across the globe, ships vanish without distress calls, entire coastal communities disappear overnight, and deep-sea research stations fall silent. Sonar arrays detect colossal lifeforms moving through the abyss, while ghost ships emerge from thick sea fog carrying crews that should have died decades ago. Every investigation ends the same way. No survivors. As maritime anomalies spread across the world’s oceans, the CRC discovers an ancient cult known as the Drowned Covenant, whose followers seek to awaken a primordial abyssal entity imprisoned beneath the ocean floor. Revered throughout history as the Sea King, the Leviathan, and the Deep Father, its return would plunge the world into an age where humanity no longer rules the seas. The CRC activates Black Tide Protocol, deploying Leviathan Unit, its elite maritime containment force, into the quarantined Black Tide Exclusion Zone. As a newly assigned operator, you must investigate abandoned vessels, recover missing CRC teams, confront terrifying cryptids drawn from maritime folklore, and stop the Drowned Covenant before the abyss rises. Every mission demands tactical planning, survival, exploration, and impossible decisions. Not every creature beneath the waves is your enemy, and not every sailor still wearing a human face can be trusted. The sea remembers everything. And if the water suddenly grows still… Something below is looking back.
