You were a legendary hero — fully armed, unstoppable. But a curse has been laid upon you: with every room you clear, you grow weaker. Your level counts down. Your abilities vanish one by one. And the clock above your head is always ticking.

ZERO is a fast-paced top-down action game built around a single theme: everything counts down.

CORE LOOP

- Kill enemies to steal their remaining time and add it to your own.

- Clear a room → lose a random upgrade → enter the next room weaker.

- Start at Level 7 with 9 abilities. Reach Level 0 to break the curse and win.

TWO LAYERS OF COUNTDOWN

1. Your LIFE TIMER drains every second. Kill fast or die.

2. Your POWER LEVEL drops with every room. Adapt or perish.

CONTROLS

WASD — Move

Mouse — Aim

Left Click — Attack

Space — Dash (if you still have it)

R — Restart

TIP

Leaving a room makes your timer drain 4x faster. You can run, but you can't hide.
