Fight Monsters in a Siberian Landscape in Survival Horror Title ‘Expedition Zero’
Developer Enigmatic Machines and publisher tinybuild are jumping into the arena with their own wintery horror game in Expedition Zero, which will launch for PC via Steam later this year.
Set in the heart of rural Siberia, players will be putting their engineering skills to the test as the last survivor of a Soviet scientific expedition codenamed “Expedition Zero”, sent in to investigate an unexpected meteorite crash that has turned a Siberian forest into an exclusion zone. Oh, and you’ll also have to deal with flesh-eating creatures that have been devastating local villages.
While you’re in this solo, you’ve got your mechanized protective suit that you’ll be able to upgrade, along with crafting other Soviet-era gadgets and tech.
Admittedly, the trailer doesn’t show much, but at least the Steam page is up and running with a wishlist option. And the screenshots released so far really get that isolation vibe going, which is always welcome in a game like this.
In a blast from the past, developer atooi will release today Dementium: The Ward for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The first-person horror shooter originally got its start on the Nintendo DS back in 2007, before making its way to the 3DS in 2015, and finally landing on the Switch last October.
The PlayStation version of Dementium offers up “crunchy retro” and revamped HD display modes (presumably, this is similar to the free update the Switch version received last year), and has been “built from the ground up for the big screen”. Obviously, the game will lose its touchscreen capabilities from the Nintendo consoles, but will still run at a silky 60 frames per second.
Dementium: The Ward centres around William Redmoor, a man with amnesia, who wakes up in a seemingly abandoned medical ward. He soon finds out that he’s not quite as alone as he initially thought, as demonic creatures are roaming the hospital. Equipped with a flashlight and a nightstick, William must not only fend off the creatures, but also solve puzzles and find the exit and escape.
No word on if the sequel, Dementium II (which was also originally released in 2007 for the Nintendo DS), will be given the same treatment.
