The Magnus Protocol is a horror anthology podcast—and a stand-alone sequel to the award winning podcast, The Magnus Archives—set in a shady branch of the British civil service called the Office of Incident Assessment and Response. The O.I.A.R is a deceptively average office job, full of underpaid employees who spend their evenings sorting through gruesome accounts of supernatural events. Their proprietary computer program FR3-D1 has the unique ability to scan the internet, phones, and all digitized records, and it flags anything supernatural to be filed properly for governmental records. Or perhaps, for some darker, yet unknown purpose…

Now it is your turn to step into the horror and the mystery. Join Sam, Alice, Celia, and Gwen on the night shift, and experience these cases alongside them and alongside your friends and family. It is up to you to sort through the documents for each incident. Encounter brand new cases, never seen before on the show, featuring both familiar and unfamiliar faces. 

In The Magnus Protocol Mysteries, you get to be a member of the O.I.A.R.’s long defunct Response Department. Unlike your coworkers, you cannot simply file these incidents, you must investigate them thoroughly and discover exactly what happened.

But can you discover the truth behind the horror before the horrors discover you?

Indie Boards & Cards has learned how to streamline the game publishing process and has successfully delivered games to thousands of its supporters. Our previous experiences will enable us to deliver this project on time, and we have every confidence that we will be on schedule and of the highest possible quality. That said, there are always complexities and considerations in a project of this scope that may cause delays. Indie Boards & Cards will use contract manufacturing to make this game, freight forwarders to get games through customs, and 3rd parties like Amazon, the US Post Office, and FedEx to ship the games to you – we don't control everything, and there are lots of opportunities for delay. We have a track record of making everything work out for backers in the end – so please be confident and supportive of our efforts to get this great game into your hands.

REFUND POLICY
We can refund you within 14 days of the campaign’s end, fees included. After that, we have a policy of no questions asked, though that’s minus 20% for Backerkit and payment processing fees (which we can’t get back from them after 14 days). However, no refunds are possible if we’ve begun packaging your pledge for shipment (usually 4 to 6 weeks before the actual shipping date). If a component cannot be delivered AT ALL, we refund that completely, including fees. All refunds after the 14-day close of the campaign may be processed via PayPal or reversed via Stripe to your credit card at our discretion. Refunds within 14 days are reversed via Stripe to your credit card. This project is being funded in USD. Any refunds processed will be in USD for the exact amount received in USD, excluding any applicable fees depending on the time the refund is processed.

DAMAGED OR INCOMPLETE PRODUCTS
We understand that all backers want to receive their items in pristine condition; however, the realities of worldwide shipping can sometimes make this difficult. We guarantee that the product you receive will be complete and that all internal components are in perfect condition. We will do our best to ensure that your package arrives in good condition, but all decisions on box replacements will be made on a case-by-case basis. Due to the difficulty and expense of replacing boxes, depending on your region, we cannot replace some boxes with minor cosmetic damage only.

RETURNED PRODUCTS
If you refuse to accept your package on arrival, we will not issue you a refund for the cost of the pledge.

FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THE SURVEY
Surveys will be completed through Backerkit. If you fill out the survey after the designated time frame, your package may be delayed in sending to you by up to a few months. If you do not fill out the survey until after the declared end of the project, we may not be able to send it to you.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
By pledging to this project, you acknowledge that the final look, materials, and content of the rewards (and the project) are subject to change and may differ substantially from what is presented while the Backerkit project was active. If you do not log in and submit your project survey results (i.e., provide us with your shipping address) for your pledge within eight weeks of our notification, you agree that we have fulfilled our obligations to you in full for payment or donations received. However, at our discretion, we may refund or ship your pledge (at additional cost for international backers) if you complete your project survey after the 8-week window has elapsed. If you do not accept these terms, please do not pledge to this project but instead wait for the general release.
