Generation Zero
Generation Zero is a stealth-action shooter where you wage guerilla warfare against lethal mechanical enemies. Explore a vast open world map inspired by the Swedish Cold War era, take part in the resistance alone or with up to three friends in seamless co-op.
What it feels like
Hunted by lethal machines in an open world creates sustained pressure and edge-of-seat gameplay.
What it's about
A world overrun by deadly machines evokes post-apocalyptic imagery, though the Swedish Cold War setting is alternate-history. Swedish Cold War setting reimagined with mechanical enemies creates a counterfactual history. Lethal mechanical enemies and future-tech warfare anchor the sci-fi setting.
How it plays
Avoiding detection and using stealth to approach mechanical enemies is a core pillar of the guerrilla-warfare gameplay loop. Shooting lethal mechanical enemies with firearms is central to combat encounters and the stealth-action feedback loop. Crafting and survival mechanics require gathering and managing scarce resources to survive encounters.
How it looks and sounds
The 2019 aesthetic draws from 80s-era Swedish setting with retro digital design sensibilities.
How it's structured
A vast explorable Swedish open world is the primary setting where players navigate freely and tackle objectives in non-linear order. Seamless cooperative play for up to four players over the internet is a featured design element. Solo play is supported and viable, though co-op is emphasized as a core feature.
