About Settlement Zero
You wake up in the early hours of the morning and discover that the entire population of Settlement Zero is being evacuated, except for you ...
Settlement Zero is a first-person VR adventure using free movement, an uninterrupted experience free from level loads, mixing open exploration with frantic combat and survival as you defend yourself against autonomous spacecraft and unfriendly robots.
- A large open VR urban space for people that prefer to be able to freely move around and explore without interruptions, and want to find their own way, without having their hand held every step of the way.
- Autonomous enemies that aren’t constrained to a single location, so no two games are ever the same.
- A new world unlike anything you’ve seen before.
- Exploit the lifts, terraced steps ,and suspended walkways for high ground advantage, and increase your chances of survival
- You'll have to learn to cope with not only what is coming at you from the ground, but also what is above as spacecraft track and aim their rays at you.
Game Setting
Settlement Zero was the first ever off-world colony, established in 2084 to help ease the overpopulation crisis back on earth. Considered phenomenally successful, it became a template for the numerous settlements that followed. It is now 2109 and the colony has been abruptly terminated, for reasons unknown to you.
Explore a totally new world, but make sure you don’t let the those robots get their metal claws into you!

✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's expansive sandbox world, atmospheric visuals with excellent use of light and shadow, and the sense of exploration in an abandoned sci-fi setting that evokes classic films. However, common complaints center on shallow gameplay depth, lack of clear objectives beyond basic survival, and aimless wandering that can become tedious without meaningful goals or achievements to pursue.
Initial Impression (Played on Oculus Rift, 3 Sensors) What I think I'm experiencing is a huge sandbox-type game, where you are a futuristic 'Omega Man' (Charleston Heston old Sci-Fi movie) trying to figure out what is going on, and trying to survive at the same time. Pros - What an enormous-sized sandbox to play in. It gives a good feeling of what it might be like to be alone in a city. It makes me feel like I was walking through the abandoned set of an old sci-fi film, 'Logan's Run'. - The game description indicates your 'hand will not be held' as the story starts to unfold, so it makes it seems like I'll have to use some detective skills. Be careful though, too much aimless wandering around can quickly drain the fun out of the game. - I absolutely love that the goth C3PO robots remind me of what it might be like to fight against an angry Bender from Futurama. Cons - Lack of Smooth Turning is jarring, and constantly breaks the immersion for me (feels like a 'screen reset' every time the snap turn occurs). The 'Interpolated Turn' (?) feature is horrible; it is like the foresaken offspring of snap and smooth turning. It is only because of my 3-sensor set-up that the game wasn…5 found this helpful
The visuals and effective use of light and shadows and visual scale is top notch. I like the freedom you have to roam around and explore but it needs more depth in game play. With such an incredible map just some definitive game goals (achievements) outside of the role of just survival would make this a winning title. Its in early access and needs support and would be a shame for such a great map & stunning visuals not to be developed further.3 found this helpful
