Abiotic Factor for Windows

Open-world survival crafting game

Abiotic Factor is a premium action game for PC by developer Deep Field Games. It's a first-person multiplayer survival crafting adventure featuring horror and supports up to six players. In it, they will need to work together as they navigate interdimensional realms and battle all sorts of monsters.

Much like the classic Half-Life game, Abiotic Factor boasts charming 90s aesthetics with sci-fi themes that will have players go up against otherwordly hostile creatures that will attack anything in sight. It also features base-building elements wherein they can establish an operations base and conduct research to help them on their journey.

Think tank

In Abiotic Factor, you play a scientist who recently got your PhD and is starting your first day at work in the GATE Cascade Research Facility. You go about your duties like normal but as you get acclimated to your new workplace, you start to notice strange things happening with your co-workers, like reading e-mails about otherworldly encounters and seeing photos of wrestling alien creatures.

You realize your new work is a living nightmare that you're trapped in, and you have no choice but to work together and survive. Scavenge resources to build your case and to create items you need when you venture out. Earn a PhD that grants you unique skills and specializations essential to your survival and to tackle whatever dangerous situation or enemy you come up against.

Abiotic Factor boasts a wide selection of makeshift weapons, traps, and gear made from advanced components to help you face monsters like Tesla coil barricades, laser cannons, and more. Unfortunately, the combat in the game feels imprecise and unrestrained, which may be intentional given the characters are scientists and not soldiers. On another note, the game is still in Early Access, so it's not complete yet.

Nerd power

Even in its current state, Abiotic Factor already shows potential to be a great multiplayer survival game. From its charming visuals and presentation to its clever premise, there's a lot to like. Geeks and nerds take center stage for once and their goofy nature counterbalances the dark and horrific nature of the story. Needless to say, this is worth checking out and experiencing yourself.
