About

SECTOR ZERO is a short, physics-based dark sci-fi puzzle adventure where you play as a fragment of an ancient hive-mind entity, awakened by human mining operations. The story unfolds deep in space, inside a colossal asteroid being torn apart for its resources by human colonists.

The miners were too greedy. They dug too deep and, within the asteroid’s core, uncovered something they were never meant to find — an ancient hive-mind entity known as The Corruption. Awakened from its eternal slumber, it begins to spread through the station’s systems, its dark tendrils twisting metal, machinery, and minds alike.

Countless lasers, turrets, and automated defenses stand in your way. Your only advantage lies in your ability to corrupt and control human technology, turning their own creations against them. Harness this power to overcome platforming challenges and solve intricate, physics-based puzzles.

But even as The Corruption spreads, isolated sectors remain under human control, sealed off, fortified, and defiant. It’s up to you to adapt, infiltrate, and finish what humanity began when they invaded your domain.
1-hour story with 2 extra hours of secrets and achievements.
Become the monster. Jump, climb, and crawl through detailed, hand-crafted environments.
Evade lasers, outsmart turrets, and sneak past your enemies.
Corrupt human-made technology and use it to your advantage.
Interact with your surroundings using fully physics-driven interactions.
Controller & Steam Deck supported.

Honestly, It was a short, but fun game. It could use some work on specific achievement detection, and maybe making one aspect of one achievement easier. Overall, I would recommend the game.
搞快点一个小时都不要就能通关。是一个主打视觉艺术的超小解谜游戏,也不贵,就当支持作者了
Nice 1.5hr physics puzzler with some narrative tidbits and nice visuals, the puzzles are in the same territory as Half-Life 2 puzzles. Only complaint was that DualSense 5 doesn't have controller icons but the controls are simple enough to figure out.
Well made small game. I like the artstyle. Its worth the small price. Took me 2 hours to complete but probably u can get many more hours if u are tying to get all achievements
Small puzzle and parkour game with interesting concepts. Hints of something bigger in the lore, but nothing major, more akin to an appetizer for the dev's other game. The puzzles are nice, but neither very challenging or long. Does not mean they are not fun and especially the achievements up the game a ton.
게임은 무척 재미있는데 비밀의 방과는 도전 과제가 너무 힘들어요. 유니콘 인형만 좀 완화시켜서 그냥 매 체크 포인트마다 가져갈 수 있으면 좀 더 쉽게 게임을 할 수 있을 것 같아요. 마음대로 따라와 주지도 않고 다급해지는 맵들도 있다 보니 그거 인형만 체크 포인트마다 가져갈 수 있으면 딱히 어렵지는 않을 것 같습니다. 그래도 게임은 재미있어요. 스피드 감도 꽤 있고 뭔가 색다른 느낌이고 그리고 그냥 막 진행해도 하다 보면 진행도 제법 순조롭게 되어서 나쁘지 않아요. 우연히 접하게 된 게임인데 생각보다 무척 즐겁게 플레이했고 그리고 마지막 단점이라면 눈이 좀 아파요.
Sector Zero is a lovingly crafted Half Life inspired experience with an awesome community and incredible single developer. Much love and appreciation to Simple, and the community he's created. I look forward to Artificial :) Also, very fun to 100%.
Why is there a boss fight where they spam lazer and mines? was going to give a 10 out of 10 before that but the boss genuinly ruined it for me 0 out of 10 boss fight sucks ass
good
Coole Style, super Musik, schöne Rätsel, atmosphärisch. Grundsätzlich zu empfehlen wenn man Spiele in Richtung Portal mag. Es ist sehr kurz und die Spielmechanik wird bei weitem nicht ausgeschöpft.
