Spina Studio unveiled a throwback survival horror experience titled phase zero, drawing clear inspiration from the early Resident Evil titles. The team released a trailer, shared screenshots, and delivered a detailed briefing that explained what players can expect.
The game embraces hallmark PS1 aesthetics, including blocky textures and a fixed camera, a hallmark of 1990s cult horror games; resources are scarce, demanding tight survival planning.
The narrative unfolds across episodic chapters, with one of two protagonists available in each installment, guiding players through intertwined stories.
“The game blends PS1-era visuals with fixed cameras and modern refinements, paying homage to its roots,” the description states.
The core action takes place in 1994 in the post-industrial port city of Flint Pick, where a mysterious illness sweeps through the population, transforming locals into altered beings.
A Phase Zero page is live on Steam, and the developers promise a playable demo in the near term.
Industry chatter notes that Zenless Zone Zero has introduced notable physics features, a point covered by VG Times.
