Introduction to Abiotic Factor – Your First Step Into the Unknown
Welcome to Abiotic Factor, a sci‑fi survival adventure that asks how far science can push before it pushes back. Developed by Deep Field Games and published by Playstack, it combines tense narrative exploration with resourceful survival gameplay inside the sprawling GATE facility.
You’ll face alien creatures that slipped through dimensional cracks, factions exploiting the chaos, and the constant struggle to stay alive with only what you can scavenge or build. You can brave it alone or work with up to five other survivors in six‑player co-operative play.
The Premise
The GATE complex was humanity’s frontier for advanced research until disaster struck. Portals tore open, letting in entities that were never meant to meet human eyes. Now the halls are crawling with mutated threats, collapsing structures, and armed groups fighting to seize control. Your task is simple to say, but hard to achieve: adapt, survive, and uncover what really caused the breach.
Core Gameplay
Scavenge and Craft: Turn scraps and salvaged tech into weapons, tools, and survival gear.
Build and Defend: Establish safe bases to prepare for dangerous expeditions.
Fight or Evade: Take on hostile factions and terrifying entities, or sneak past to fight another day.
Explore the Facility: Each sector (Offices, Labs, Hydroplant, Security, and more) comes with unique challenges.
Play Solo or Co‑Op: Team up with friends or test your survival instincts alone.
What Makes Abiotic Factor Stand Out
This isn’t just another survival game. Abiotic Factor balances storytelling with systems‑driven gameplay, blending Half‑Life‑style world‑building with the unforgiving mechanics of survival sims. From improvising traps to exploring surreal portal realms, no two runs will feel quite the same.
