NULL PROTOCOL
Bring Relaxing Experiences To Users' Spare Time
Null Protocol is an indie mobile game concept centered around fragmented-time usability and tactical decision making. Designed as both a game design and UX case study, the project explores how players interact with high-intensity systems during short engagement sessions, balancing immersion with accessibility for mobile users. The visual direction combines futuristic industrial aesthetics, cinematic UI layering, and high-contrast interface design to create a tense but readable experience.
