Releasing in July 2024, “Level Zero” is an upcoming horror video game developed by DogHowl Games and published by tinyBuild. This intense, asymmetrical multiplayer survival horror game pits a team of scientists against alien monsters in a high-stakes battle for survival within a failing research facility.
Inspired by the tension-filled atmosphere of “Alien: Isolation”, “Level Zero” offers a unique blend of asymmetric horror and extraction shooter elements. Players can choose to be part of a team of scientists, tasked with repairing the station’s power systems using light sources like flares and glowsticks to fend off the monstrous adversaries. On the other side, players can become the alien monsters, using abilities like EMP blasts and primal screams to hunt the scientists in the dark.
The game’s immersive experience is enhanced by its need for strategic teamwork and resource management. Scientists must coordinate to find tools and restore power, all while avoiding the deadly creatures that stalk them. If a scientist falls, they can return as a drone to support their team by scouting and marking important locations. The relentless monsters, on the other hand, must strategically disable light sources to overpower the human players.
“Level Zero” is set to launch on multiple platforms, including PC and consoles, with an early access phase on Steam allowing eager players to get a taste of the action beforehand. The game’s success will depend on its ability to keep players engaged with its challenging gameplay and the constant threat of the lurking alien menace.
For fans of high-stakes horror and strategic multiplayer experiences, “Level Zero” promises to deliver a fresh and terrifying adventure in the sci-fi horror genre.
