We’re excited to announce that our first public demo for Ground Zero is OUT NOW as part of Next Fest! We’d really appreciate it if you could give our demo a try and let us know what you think of it by leaving a review on the demo store page.
Alongside giving you a taste of what will be in the final game, our demo also has some speedrunning features added in which we’d encourage you to try! Once you’ve completed the demo, you’ll unlock the ability to create “ghost” versions of yourself, which show you the path you used for your best recorded time. As you follow them, you should be able to find areas where you can improve your run as well. If you don’t want to be chased by the ghosts of speedruns past though, you can toggle this feature on/off in the options menu.

Ground Zero is a retro survival horror game where you’ll take on the role of Seo-Yeon, an elite Korean operative who has been tasked with investigating the meteor impact site in her homeland. Backed up by her Canadian counterpart Evan, Seo-Yeon must make her way through the post-apocalyptic landscape, gather biological data on the mutated creatures that inhabit it, and piece together the mystery behind this anomalous event.
With fixed camera angles, optional tank controls, and artistic inspiration from survival horror classics, Ground Zero is a love letter to the horror genre.
If you encounter any bugs in the demo or have any feedback on what you’d like to see in the final game, please let us know in our Steam Forum or on our Discord. We’ll be gathering bug reports and feedback throughout Next Fest to make sure we iron out any bugs before launch and to consider any suggestions for the final game!
