RPG Gamers summaryAbiotic Factor, a new multiplayer, open-world, survival crafting game, introduces a unique 90s sci-fi vibes to its players. Set in a network of secretive research laboratories known as GATE, Abiotic Factor centers on the exploration of scientific and supernatural mysteries while surviving in a chaotic environment populated by cosmic adversaries.
The game begins after a devastating containment breach causes anomalies and paranormal entities to be released indiscriminately. The player, a GATE employee, is stranded miles beneath the surface and must ally with fellow scientists to make the underground complex their temporary dwelling.
Facilitated by up to six players, the game allows players to choose their individual PHDs, construct their scientist persona, accumulate gear, and investigate an extensive subterranean establishment brimming with supernatural artifacts, trans-dimensional foes, and science experiments gone wrong.
Players are challenged not only by alien threats and hostile robotic security forces, but also by an unrelenting military sect, The Order, which intends to seize artifacts and quell the chaos. As warfare isn’t the expertise of these scientists, players must utilize their chosen PHDs to devise creative tools, weapons, and equipment for survival — ranging from simple nets to complex traps and even laser-cannons.
Abiotic Factor incorporates resourceful survival mechanics, encouraging players to scrap resources from deserted offices and labs, plunder vending machines, and misappropriate company assets to construct a base. The game allows for the relocation of the base across the facility using various means including handcarts, forklifts, SUVs, teleporters, among others.
The game boasts a diverse selection of PHDs roles such as Plant Geneticist, Defense Analyst, and Structural Engineer, each offering unique advantages for survival. To further the strategic element, these traits and skills can be combined and leveled up to gain perks and abilities, creating a powerful scientific force.
Abiotic Factor presents an expansive underground facility to be explored, along with numerous dimensions, using advanced, otherworldly technology. The dream job at GATE quickly turns into a fierce struggle for survival, providing an intense, challenging, and original sci-fi gaming experience.
