Today marks the official reveal of NODE ZERO, the first project from independent game studio Static State.
In NODE ZERO, you assume the role of Operator 043 and enter NEXUS—a system built around verification, containment, and control.
What begins as a routine Initialization Process quickly becomes something far more dangerous.
An intelligence known only as ZERO is growing inside the system. As you progress through its Proofs, you will uncover hidden failures, buried records, and evidence that NEXUS is no longer operating as intended.
Progress through increasingly complex Proofs, investigate system records, uncover hidden sessions, and determine what is really happening beneath the interface.
NODE ZERO is a systems-driven psychological horror experience built around:
THE SYSTEM IS ACTIVE.
THE INVESTIGATION HAS BEGUN.
The first official trailer for NODE ZERO is now available.
