Immersive investigative narratives
Your choices. Your fate. Already written.
Play Protocol 7 →What is Wyrd
WYRD is an immersive, narrative-driven mystery experience where you drive the investigation. No scripted paths. No right answers. You decide where to look, who to trust, and what to chase — and the world responds.
Each investigation is its own world — a dark cyberpunk city, Victorian London's fog-drenched streets, a cloistered medieval monastery — with a mystery at its center and a truth that cuts deeper than you expect. Protocol 7 is the first. More are coming.
Some threads lead to answers. Some lead to questions you'll wish you hadn't asked.
How it works
Choose your scenario. Each has its own atmosphere, rules, and secrets — and introduces you through immersive narrative that places you at the center.
Follow your instincts. Examine clues, interrogate witnesses, pursue hunches. The story unfolds based entirely on where you look and what you do.
Every mystery ends somewhere. But the destination — and what it costs you — depends on the choices you made along the way.
From the first scenario
The file arrives at 11:43 PM, which is the kind of hour that makes every case feel like a confession.
Rain against the office window — not dramatic, not cinematic. The particular persistence of New Cascadia rain, which doesn't so much fall as accumulate, the way debt does, the way regret does. Fourteen million people somewhere in the dark beyond the glass, most of them threading through dreams they'll half-remember by morning.
The sender is Helion Systems. Legal division, which is already strange. Companies this size don't hire freelancers — they have internal security architecture, relationships with licensed forensic firms, entire floors of people whose job is to make problems legible and contained. A freelancer means something else. It means someone wanted a particular kind of distance between the finding and the finder.
The subject line reads: Vasquez, Yara. Lead Neural Architect. Missing eleven days.
The attached photograph: a woman in her early forties, dark hair, wearing the specific expression of someone who has agreed to be photographed but not to be seen. The eyes are looking slightly past the camera, at something the photographer couldn't have known to capture.
