## About BROKE PROTOCOL

BROKE PROTOCOL, from BROKE PROTOCOL, is a free, fully moddable open-world city sandbox built around roleplaying and custom content, with jobs, NPCs, apartments, garages, and gangs in a persistent, reactive world. Sandbox roleplay, job systems, property management, gang wars, and extensive modding support let players define their own goals on community servers. The 2024 release is listed as unsupported on Steam Deck. About 69% of its 1,175 Steam reviews are positive. Reviewers praise the sandbox flexibility and the modding, noting the freedom to craft a personal story, the fully moddable and flexible design, and a surprisingly deep offline mode that they call a hidden gem. The mood reads as chaotic and freeform across this medium-length game playable solo or in online co-op.
