What happens if you take Caesar from the Planet of the Apes series, and team him up with the adorable, Stuart Little? Well, you might get some gritty survival horror of some kind, which is exactly what Animal Use Protocol, a game that puts you in the role of a chimpanzee who’s trying to escape an animal lab with their trusty little sidekick.

Developers of Stasis Presents: Animal Use Protocol 

Now this looks like a pretty interesting and cool idea, and though the title is still a way out, based on the small snippet of gameplay, it seems to be coming together nicely. Here’s a bit more about the game for those interested in a bit of story information:

About the game (via Steam):

The creators of STASIS and BONE TOTEM are taking you on a terrifying journey in ANIMAL USE PROTOCOL.

In this 3D first-person, narrative-focused survival horror game, you play as Penn, a hyper-intelligent chimpanzee leading the desperate escape of lab animals from a nightmarish facility, where every corner hides new terror.

Armed only with your wits, a gravity manipulation tool, and accompanied by your scrappy rat companion Trip, you’ll stealthily navigate the dystopian Anchorage Station, relentlessly stalked by a monstrous chimera of experiments gone wrong.

Uncover the truth behind what happened here.

Be quick and quiet.

Time is running out…

Animal Use Protocol has no release date other than a target 2026 release. No platform other than PC has been confirmed.
