About the Game

About This Game

Zone-0 was created in just one week as a showcase of our free, publicly available Unreal Engine framework. This short horror experience was built to demonstrate how quickly and effectively developers can build immersive worlds with it — and we challenged ourselves to push its capabilities to the limit.

Story

It was supposed to be a quiet goodbye. You’re just a low-clearance guard posted at the front gate of a sprawling facility no one talks about. For years, you watched people come and go—never knowing what went on behind the reinforced walls. Now the project is being shut down. Decommissioned. Stripped for parts and packed away like it never existed. But on your final shift, something goes wrong. The ground shakes. Pipes burst. Sirens wail in. Whatever was buried in the dark isn’t staying quiet. You were never meant to see what’s inside. But now, there’s no turning back.
