BREACH PROTOCOL is a 16-player attack/defense FPS about network intrusion — playable in a browser tab, defended by reinforcement-learned bots, and coming to Steam.
Short (~80 words)
BREACH PROTOCOL is a 16-player FPS about network intrusion: red team attacks on a clock, blue team defends the floor, and the finale is a two-operator beam held in the open while the level's boss defends the core. It runs in the browser at breach.jers.media — no install, no account — and as a desktop app that bundles its own server. The bots' decision-making is trained by reinforcement learning; their aim, by hard constraint, never is. Coming to Steam.
Long (~180 words)
BREACH PROTOCOL is a 16-player attack/defense FPS from independent studio Jer's Media. A three-level campaign tells one intrusion in order: phish a badge through a glass wall on a level with exactly one gun; steal a root signature by capturing four custodian key shares; then take a 168-metre data-centre floor four objectives at a time, ending in a burn that needs two operators holding a beam while THE SYSADMIN defends the core. Each side can also seat a commander who plays the whole arena from a top-down map — with intel limited on the wire itself, so command is powerful without being a wallhack.
The engine is the studio's own: TypeScript end to end, a server-authoritative simulation at 30 Hz, and a deterministic core that deals the whole arena from an eight-byte seed. That determinism is what made the bots trainable — their goal layer is a neural network produced by a 36-hour self-play campaign, permanently barred from touching the trigger. BREACH PROTOCOL is playable now in the browser at breach.jers.media, runs as a desktop app, and is coming to Steam.
