Ground Zero News

Ground Zero has always punched above its weight for trying to build what feels like a lost AAA horror game from the early 2000s, and with such a tiny team we have been grinding away to give the players the classic survival horror experience they deserve for almost three years now.

Up until this point we have been entirely self-funded but now we have a publisher with Kwalee!

We have partnered with Kwalee to fund and get Ground Zero over the finish line, allowing us to polish and cook up the best experience we can - Tons of weapons, bosses, unlockables, motion captured cutscenes, absolutely disgusting monsters and a kick-ass experience that feels familiar to the games we all know and love, with some modern mechanics to double, if not triple, the fun.

In Ground Zero, 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. To evoke the feeling of classic survival horror titles, we’re using fixed camera angles and optional tank controls for that true retro horror feel.

[h3]Get ready to scream…

With excitement, because the Horror Game Awards 2024 has begun!

You can follow the link here to watch the awards show live right now.[/h3]



The Horror Game Awards were started in 2022 by Phil Dickens and Will Penkeyman. After seeing that horror games weren’t getting recognition in other award shows at a time when the genre was seeing a resurgence in both popularity and quality, they decided to create an awards show entirely dedicated to the spookiest in class.

We’re honoured that Ground Zero was selected to be an official participant in the event!

Our retro horror style was inspired by all of the incredible horror games that we’ve played throughout the years, so it’s wonderful to see games in the horror genre start to get the recognition they deserve and be given their own awards show. We hope that you’ll join us in supporting the awards show this year! Who knows, maybe next year you’ll even have the chance to vote for Ground Zero in the Horror Game Awards 2025?
