Overview
Sweep Protocol, developed and published by Dawson Games, is a strategy title that drops you into the role of a remote military radar operator. The game launched on October 30, 2026, and it's a single-player experience with full controller support, including DualShock compatibility.
The core loop is deceptively simple: track incoming threats on a Cold War-era radar system while trying to keep your family alive as an invasion escalates around you.
Highlights
- Radar-Based Threat Tracking: You'll identify and respond to incoming threats using a military radar interface, making every sweep a tense moment of discovery.
- Resource Management Tension: The game forces you to balance scarce resources between station operations and your family's survival, creating a constant push-pull between duty and love.
- Consequential Decisions: Choices you make for your family carry lasting weight, and emergency countermeasures are available when situations spiral out of control. The crisis unfolds over multiple in-game weeks, so your decisions compound over time.
Who It's For
If you enjoy atmospheric strategy games with a strong narrative undercurrent, Sweep Protocol should be on your radar. The management mechanics will appeal to fans of resource-tight simulations, while the family drama and dystopian Cold War setting add emotional stakes that pure strategy titles often lack.
It's a game for players who appreciate tough trade-offs and want their choices to matter.
