Press release:
The indie games publisher Creative Black Chair and indie games developer DogHowl Games today announced with great pride and excitement that their tactical online first-person horror game “Level Zero” is coming to PC via Steam on September 17th, 2021.

Level Zero is based on a confrontation between two teams, with a strong emphasis on a terrifying atmosphere. Real people, real fear. Events unfold on a space station that suffered a disaster due to an attack of hostile creatures.

Play as the station’s staff and repair the power control systems by finding the parts you need while avoiding the hostile darkness. As monsters, utilise various telepathic abilities to damage electronics in order to eliminate the rest of the station’s surviving personnel.

Level Zero will be released in Early Access. The full version of the game will include map expansions, new and improved male and female characters, as well as new monsters, more random events, and screamers to improve the atmosphere among other features.

What is LEVEL ZERO?
LEVEL ZERO is a tactical online multiplayer first-person horror game where the first team of players, represented by surviving scientists, must repair the space station’s light controls and restore power to eliminate the hostile creatures. The second team of players, represented by the dangerous, monstrous creatures, must prevent the repairs of the station systems, or neutralize all survivors using a variety of telepathic abilities. The surviving scientists on the space station must use a variety of devices, light sources, and other items to defend themselves against the hostile creatures and avoid total darkness. On a grim space station that has suffered an energetic disaster, the survivors will have to look for access codes, key cards, and other ways to open doors to pave a safe path to the station’s breakdown systems. Monster players can see well in the dark and move around the ventilation shafts. They must explore the station, find artefacts to replenish their energy, and beware of bright light using many of their telepathic abilities to help neutralise electronics and the surviving scientist crew. Monsters will set up ambushes, attack in unexpected moments and enjoy the advantage of seeing in the dark!

Game Features:

Play alone or with friends against other real players in different modes such as 1v1, 2v2, 4v2.
Large, dark and detailed game location to explore
Atmospheric graphics that can scare any player
A system of randomization of items and screamers, which will make each round a unique horror experience
Immersive sound design that captures the entire atmosphere of a gloomy and destroyed space station
