Cepheus Protocol is an Open-World Real-Time Strategy game by indie studio Halcyon Winds, taking inspiration from titles such as Company of Heroes and World in Conflict, as well as the book World War Z.Taking place in and around San Francisco amidst the outbreak of a mysterious alien pathogen called the Pangu Virus, you assume command over Captain Winter and the Center for Epidemic Research and Control – also known as the CERC - with the task of not only studying the contagion but also stopping the ensuing Zombie Apocalypse by force before it becomes too big to contain. On top of dealing with the infected, you also have to deal with Anarchists, Police remnants, and other survivors left behind amidst the chaos. All the while, "Patient Zero" continues to elude capture and infects more organic matter. How this all ends, however, is up to you.The game entered Steam's Early Access on May 15, 2020. More info can be found on its website. | |

Apocalypse Anarchy | |
| Cepheus Protocol (Video Game) / int_1865f13a | comment |
Apocalypse Anarchy: By the time the CERC is deployed, order within the containment zone has all but collapsed, with some of the survivors being just as likely to attack you as the infected. | |

Command & Conquer Economy | |
| Cepheus Protocol (Video Game) / int_3556ccfc | comment |
Command & Conquer Economy: Money can be gained by seizing strategic points and setting up the logistical structures. While base-building is largely done by air-dropping mostly-finished buildings directly on-site. | |

Patient Zero: Chelsey Trader, a young nurse who not only survived direct contact with the Pangu Virus, but is responsible for the outbreak in San Francisco, all while still retaining her sapience and personality. | |

| Cepheus Protocol (Video Game) / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Subverted. While unable to fully maintain order, what's left of the police force is still active in trying to keep survivors safe. The CERC could potentially bring them on board as allies. | |

| Cepheus Protocol (Video Game) / int_70e8a55a | comment |
No FEMA Response: Subverted. While you are the response, the US Government is still forced to cordon off San Francisco in an attempt to contain the Pangu Virus. This unfortunately leaves the people still in the zone to fend for themselves. | |

Easy Logistics: Subverted. While you're easily resupplied through airdrops, that also includes keeping tabs on ammunition, which can run out rather quickly if you don't pay too much attention. | |

Anarchy Is Chaos | |
| Cepheus Protocol (Video Game) / int_a270b9e5 | comment |
Anarchy Is Chaos: Subverted. The Anarchists are militant and hostile to the government for leaving them to rot. On the other hand, they're also just trying to survive for the most part and could potentially align themselves with the CERC. | |

Sadistic Choice | |
| Cepheus Protocol (Video Game) / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: As the outbreak mutates, Captain Winter and the CERC would eventually be forced to entertain the prospect of either saving as many as they can (with the risk that some may be secretly infected) or indiscriminate killing to stop the Pangu Virus (at the cost of sacrificing the entire city). | |

It Can Think | |
| Cepheus Protocol (Video Game) / int_c95d04f2 | comment |
It Can Think: The Pangu Virus is shown to not only produce swarms of infected, but show some signs of coordination, while some are mutated into forms that can counter aircraft and even tanks. Even early on, these clue the CERC in that some higher intelligence is directing the outbreak, and it might not even be Patient Zero. | |

| Cepheus Protocol (Video Game) / int_c9861848 | comment |
Video Game Caring Potential: You could try to save as many survivors as you can. Moreover, you could devote research more towards finding a cure to prevent further infection, assuming your forces are able to hold the line long enough. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential: Alternatively, nothing's really stopping you from killing everyone on sight whether or not they're infected. On top of that, some of the higher-tier military options are geared towards inflicting as much collateral damage as possible, at the expense of everyone in the vicinity. | |
