'Fear Below Zero' Is An Antarctic Survival Horror Game, Coming To PC In December 2025 - Screens & Trailer

Set in an isolated Antarctic research station, Fear Below Zero is a first-person survival horror game that traps you with a prehistoric predator awakened after 90 million years of frozen slumber.

Fear Below Zero combines the intelligent AI hunting mechanics of Alien: Isolation with the helpless atmosphere of Amnesia: The Bunker. The game throws you into the role of a communications technician responding to a desperate distress call from Erebus Station, a remote Antarctic research facility where something ancient and deadly has been unleashed.

There are no weapons, no way to fight back. Your only tools are stealth, cunning, and the environment around you. Hide in lockers, under desks, and in shadows as you evade an ancient predator that hunts by sight and sound. One mistake means instant death.

Face off against a truly intelligent predator that learns and adapts to your behavior. This ancient creature doesn't follow scripted patrol routes—it dynamically tracks your every move using realistic hunting instincts. Every footstep, every flash of your flashlight, and every sound you make draws its attention. The creature investigates disturbances with genuine curiosity and growing suspicion, forcing you to constantly adapt your survival strategies.

When the hunt begins, nowhere is truly safe. The stalker will tear through doors, smash through ceiling hatches, and pursue you relentlessly through the station's interconnected buildings. Traditional hiding spots become death traps as the creature demonstrates problem-solving intelligence, checking common hiding places and remembering where it last detected you. This creates an escalating game of cat and mouse where each encounter teaches both you and the creature new lessons about survival and hunting.

Explore the abandoned research station to gather electronic components, circuit boards, and scrap materials. Use your scrapping hammer to break down equipment and build the tools needed to repair the station's communications array and call for rescue.

Antarctica doesn't forgive. Monitor your body temperature as the brutal cold saps your strength. Find portable stoves, warm clothing, and shelter to stave off hypothermia that will slow your movement and leave you vulnerable.


"After Waffle Cone Willie's viral success, I wanted to create something that captured that same sense of helpless dread but on a much larger scale," said Corey, founder of Corsgames. "Fear Below Zero strips away all player agency in combat while amplifying every other survival horror element – you're cold, hunted, and completely vulnerable. It's designed to make players feel genuinely afraid."

Key Features:

  • No combat mechanics – survival through stealth and intelligence only
  • Dynamic AI that learns and adapts to player behavior patterns
  • Hypothermia system requiring constant temperature management
  • Resource scavenging and electronics repair mechanics
  • Environmental storytelling revealing a dark conspiracy
  • Multiple interconnected Antarctic research facilities to explore
  • Dynamic weather systems affecting gameplay and visibility

Fear Below Zero is coming to PC (Steam) in December 2025 at $15.99.
