A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Students from the Cleveland Institute of Art and Case Western Reserve University team up to bring you a story-driven first person horror experience, Ground Zero.

Nearly a century ago, a mass struggle for resources sparked a war like the world had never before seen, with tensions flaring and new military weapons on the rise.  The world was plunged into eternal darkness, and the light of humanity was nearly burned out forever.  As the world was reclaimed by monsters thriving in the darkness, humanity's last survivors created a program to install cybernetic implants into a certain test subject - you.   Now, it's your mission to explore an abandoned weapons facility in search of answers. 

Use your powers to extract energy from devices around you, solve puzzles through the darkness, and search for the secrets hidden in the facility.  Will you uncover a way to save humanity, or will your mind be lost to insanity?

Shade Monster Battery
