Abiotic Factor

How did the "normal" scientists at Black Mesa feel when the Half-Life incident occurred? This is probably the starting point for Abiotic Factor. In the game, players take on the role of a scientist in an underground research facility, which has been invaded by paranormal creatures from other dimensions following a catastrophic event. The aim of the game is to survive, secure resources, build tools and weapons, and uncover the mystery of the laboratory, either alone or in co-op mode with up to six other players. However, Abiotic Factor brings a breath of fresh air to the genre with its scenario, which allows for lots of improvisation and rewarding exploration. It also focuses on science and work-life balance. Players start with various scientific roles, such as Lab Assistant, Somatic Gastrologist, Epimedical Bionomicist or Summer Intern. These roles determine their initial skills and come with a range of positive and negative traits, from First Aid Certification (+3 First Aid) and a Fanny Pack (extra hotbar slots), to Asthma (more stamina loss) and a Weak Bladder (frequent toilet visits). These traits are tailored to strengths and weaknesses in co-op, of course.
