Publisher and developer SPINA Studio and developer SUPERHOT PRESENTS have announced retro-style survival horror game PHASE ZERO for PC (Steam). A release date was not announced. A demo is coming soon.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
Sink your teeth in PHASE ZERO—a modern reimagining of the survival horror golden era classics. The story is told in a series like manner—each chapter stars one of the two heroes. Featuring prerendered backgrounds, fixed cameras and the DNA of the PSX masterpieces, it blends nostalgic design with modern quality-of-life improvements, while honoring its iconic roots.
It’s the best 90s AAA horror!
- Hair-raising tension offered only by the 90s survival horrors.
- Face mutated, grotesque monsters and fight for your life, or escape with it.
- Totally immersive 3D pre-rendered environment for you to explore.
- Gripping sound effects and music that will send shivers down your spine.
- Designed camera angles with curated, cinematic frames (even better than the classics!)
Key Features
- Face the Nightmare – The game is set in Flint Peak, a post-industrial harbor town in the middle of nowhere. It’s 1994, and a relentless snowstorm looms on the horizon. To make matters worse, a mysterious illness is spreading rapidly, leaving most of the town’s residents grotesquely changed.
- Reveal What’s Hidden – Caught in the chaos are two unlikely survivors: Mary, a reporter new to Flint Peak, and Guy, an injured engineer. Armed with only what they can scavenge, they must endure the night. Can they uncover the truth before the break of dawn?
- Escape With Your Life – Grotesque, cancerous monsters crawl through the alleys of Flint Peak. Tissue overgrows walls of buildings and meat bursts through the pipes. Empty husks of human skin fill the streets. Will you fight, or will you escape?
- Survive the Outbreak – Here, at SPINA Studio, we are deeply passionate about the games we create. As a small indie studio made up by seasoned developers, our goal with PHASE ZERO was to craft a unique, modern take on the horrors we grew up playing.
