SECTOR ZERO is a short, physics-based dark sci-fi puzzle adventure where you play as a fragment of an ancient hive-mind entity, awakened by human mining operations. The story unfolds deep in space, inside a colossal asteroid being torn apart for its resources by human colonists.
The miners were too greedy. They dug too deep and, within the asteroid’s core, uncovered something they were never meant to find — an ancient hive-mind entity known as The Corruption. Awakened from its eternal slumber, it begins to spread through the station’s systems, its dark tendrils twisting metal, machinery, and minds alike.
Countless lasers, turrets, and automated defenses stand in your way. Your only advantage lies in your ability to corrupt and control human technology, turning their own creations against them. Harness this power to overcome platforming challenges and solve intricate, physics-based puzzles.
But even as The Corruption spreads, isolated sectors remain under human control, sealed off, fortified, and defiant. It’s up to you to adapt, infiltrate, and finish what humanity began when they invaded your domain.
