17 itemsAbout the Game
Zero Below The Sun is a action survival horror game inspired by the classics, with 90's retro aesthetic in full low-res 3D.
You are Axel Bowers, a security officer at a secret underground Antarctic facility. When suddenly a full lock-down is engaged and disaster is imminent, you have to make your way through the corridors in a familiar over-the-shoulder 3rd person view and arm yourself to the teeth with military grade weaponry, as you discover the frozen terror that awaits you.
Find survivors, collect equipment and investigate what caused the lock-down. But some things are not what they seem and what looks to be survivors might be something else. Expect the unexpected, but don't expect to survive.
Your trip home is cancelled.
