Liminal Protocol: Cleaning Crew is now playable through Beyond Dawn’s Observation Station, with industrial environments brought over from Liminal Protocol.
A crew of four, after the incident
Liminal Protocol: Cleaning Crew sends four contractors back into the facility after the events of Liminal Protocol. It is a turn-based squad game: choose equipment, manage light and action points, complete a contamination contract, and get the crew out.
This is literally an alpha version. The work in this update is the browser port, the environment graphics, and getting the game into the shared menu. Gameplay tuning and a dedicated bug-fix pass are still ahead. The new warning sits directly above Play Cleaning Crew so you see it before starting.
The industrial facility comes across
The industrial environment work from the current Liminal Protocol build now carries over into Cleaning Crew. Wall panels, ventilation, pipes, signs, racks, crates, and machinery give the rooms their facility detail.
The tactical camera cuts away overhead structures so you can read the floor and plan a turn. Helmet view restores the ceilings and overhead services when you move down into the room. Equipment placement keeps routes and objectives accessible; solid machinery also provides cover.
The reusable rendering support has been moved back into the 3D ASCII engine, and the facility materials and dressing are shared with Liminal Protocol. That gives future games a way to use the same environment work.
Enter through the Observation Station
Beyond Dawn remains the browser entry point. Its Observation Station now lists Beyond Dawn, the separate Liminal Protocol Steam campaign, Research lab activities, Cleaning Crew, and the possible Wasteland futures. The Steam campaign is not included in the browser games.
The timeline directory groups those entries by era and can scroll as more are added. Cleaning Crew has its own company progress, and returning to the station keeps its timeline entry selected. This release also reduces the station’s startup graphics allocation and adds recovery when a browser loses its graphics context.
