About

Abiotic Factor is a cooperative survival crafting video game in which the players, a group of scientists, are tasked with survival and escaping an underground research facility following a cataclysmic event. Drawing inspiration from the Black Mesa incident and scientists in Half-Life, the game was released into early access in May 2024.

The game events are set in motion by a failure to contain a cataclysmic event, with a group of scientists trying to survive the unleashed chaos.

On May 2nd, 2024, the game was rereleased into early access on Steam[2] (release trailer[3] shown below).



Gameplay and Features

Lethal Company

Lethal Company is a co-op survival-horror game that puts you and your friends as employees of "The Company," which finances lunar expeditions to collect scrap metal from abandoned industrial structures. Players must complete demands from "The Company" under the threat of being "fired", which, in short, means being exterminated.
