Dead Drop Protocol

The description states that Dead Drop Protocol is an extraction shooter game based on Project Delta from Roblox, combining elements of an escape-from-Tarkov-style game with Stalker. The project was submitted to the OpenAI 2026 hackathon by one individual developer, Vladcers1 Grecianu. There is no evidence of revenue, customers, or traction beyond the author’s own self-reporting. The single most important open question is whether this represents a prototype or early-stage product with potential for further development, or simply an experimental submission with unclear commercial intent.
