The Callisto Protocol was nowhere near the success Krafton or Striking Distance Studios thought it would be.
With lofty expectations it was billed as being from the minds of the creatives who worked on Dead Space, but what the game actually showed was how little it understood about what made Dead Space successful in the first place. Zoe Delahunty-Light is still feeling some kind of way about the letdown The Callisto Protocol ended up being, so in this video essay she goes into how it lacked the subtlety that something like Dead Space had in spades, and what was going on behind the scenes in The Callisto Protocol to make it a mediocre survival horror game.
