Throwback Survival Horror Title ‘PHASE ZERO’ Announced for PC [Trailer]

After experiencing Crow Country last year, publisher and developer SPINA Studio and developer SUPERHOT PRESENTS are set to bring players “a modern reimagining of the survival horror golden era classics” of their own in PHASE ZERO. Sporting callbacks to classic PSX-era Survival Horror titles, PHASE ZERO is currently in development for PC via Steam, with a demo slated to be arriving soon.

Premiering during the MIX Spring Showcase, PHASE ZERO takes place in 1994 (coincidentally, the year the PlayStation launched in Japan). You’re in Flint Peak, an isolated harbour town that’s currently plagued by a mysterious illness that is twisting its victims into grotesque nightmares. In the midst of the chaos, two survivors – Mary, a reporter new to the town, and Guy, an injured engineer – must fight to make it through the night.

The story unfolds in a series-like manner, where each chapter stars one of the two protagonists. True to classics like Resident Evil, PHASE ZERO sports prerendered backgrounds, fixed camera angles, blending nostalgic design with modern quality-of-life improvements while honouring its iconic roots.

As for what you’ll be up against, you’ll be faced with body horror delights in “grotesque, cancerous monsters” that roam the streets of Flint Peak (hint: zombies). Not only that, a strange tissue-like overgrowth covers the walls of buildings and meat bursts through the pipes. Your weapons are essentially whatever you can scavenge, but that also includes the staples of various firearms.
