Asymmetric Survival Horror Game Level Zero Stalks Its Prey on PS5, PS4

Asymmetric survival horror game Level Zero is a multiplayer title in which a team of scientists must attempt to repair various electrical sub-systems in order to survive, all the while being hunted down and devoured by hideous sci-fi monstrosities.

Four players put on the scrubs of the scientists, whose main defence against the beasts is light itself, in the form of torches, spotlights and flares. This will only keep the nightmares at bay, buying you just enough time to get the job done. Rather than relying on twitch reflexes, the key to success in Level Zero is coordination, as players need to work closely together in order to make the necessary repairs.

Two players will control the monsters themselves, using stealth and the vent network to take the pitifully weak humans by surprise. They can sense heartbeats through walls and use telepathic abilities to disable sources of light, pouncing once darkness falls. Random blackouts will also affect the map, giving the creatures (who can see in the dark, of course) a prime opportunity to strike.
