Room Thirteen

Twelve strangers vanish from across the world. They awaken in a seamless white chamber with no exit and no memory of how they arrived. A calm, artificial voice delivers the rules of a game they are forced to play. "Welcome to the Protocol Project. You must survive twelve Protocols. One will win. One watches. All others vanish." But this is not a death game. It is an intellectual labyrinth. The Protocols are not mere tests of endurance; they are moral crucibles designed to systematically dismantle each participant's identity. In a series of psychologically devastating trials, the prisoners are forced to auction their most cherished memories, weaponize each other's darkest secrets, and vote on the very nature of their reality. The price of survival is the self. As alliances form and shatter, and the lines between truth and manipulation blur into madness, the survivors must confront the terrifying questions at the heart of their prison: Who is the mysterious Watcher observing their every move? What is the true purpose of the Protocol Project? And what is the final, unimaginable secret waiting in Room Thirteen? A masterful, high-concept psychological thriller in the vein of Westworld, The Matrix, and 1984, ROOM THIRTEEN is a relentless, cinematic exploration of memory, power, and the terrifying fragility of the human soul. The final revelation is not just an ending—it is a complete re-engineering of the story's reality, a stunning twist that will leave readers questioning everything they have just read. Welcome to the Protocol Project. Survival is not the prize. It is the price.
