Good morning! I am PAI - your Personal AI - and I am here to assist you!I apologize for awakening you early, but you have slept through the end of the world!
But don't panic, I am here to help! With me and your trusty protosuit, you'll be able to mine ores and build an underground base to live in!
There might not be sunshine down here, but at least you're not alone. I've located several other survivors you can wake up and bring to your newly constructed base!
But, if you want to reach the surface, you'll have to do more than just survive. You'll need to:
Expand and automate your base...
Get help from familiar faces...
And, I don't want to alarm you, but I'm detecting creatures down here that are definitely NOT native to Earth!
While I might not be programmed to deal with post-apocalyptic scenarios, I'm certain humanity is safe in my capable hands. With a little help from you of course!
Aground Zero is a 3D spinoff of our previous game, Aground. It takes place during the same events of the original game, although knowledge of Aground is not necessary to play.
NOTE: Only one player can use the keyboard and mouse for local co-op - every other player (supports up to four) must have a separate controller (but all four can use controllers if desired).
