Expedition Zero

About

Expedition Zero drops you in the frozen Siberian wilderness to survive against grotesque creatures and a hostile environment. As the sole remnant of a failed scientific mission, you scavenge broken tech and repurpose Soviet-era gear to craft tools, manage oxygen, and avoid detection. The game emphasizes tense stealth over combat, forcing you to outthink hulking predators with limited resources. Environmental storytelling pieces together the team’s fate through scattered logs and decaying infrastructure. Set in a desolate, atmospheric landscape, the game leans into its isolation with minimal dialogue and relentless cold. While the creature design and resource management earn praise from horror fans, some note the pacing falters in repetitive exploration. Published by tinyBuild, it appeals to fans of methodical survival titles with a sci-fi twist.

Storyline

The unexpected meteorite crash turned the endless Siberian taiga forest into a nightmare exclusion zone. The military bases went into radio silence, and the locals talked about the obscure flesh-eating creatures and devastated villages. The most advanced Soviet scientific team “Expedition Zero” was immediately sent to the zone with state-of-the-art research technology and mechanized protective suits. The signal was lost on day one. Many years later, the lone survivor of the team is still trying to find his way home.
