The zombie-like monstrosities known as biophages are everywhere, and the player needs to traverse the dangers of the prison and its diseased inhabitants. Jacob has a so-called C.O.R.E. implant on the back of his neck, which tracks his health. Health can be replenished with injecting packs found during the adventures. The combat system in The Callisto Protocol features melee with dodging to find openings as well as weapons and firearms that are found in the prison. There are also timing-based encounters, which require specific buttons to be pressed to proceed.
