Abiotic Factor - Surviving Science



Abiotic Factor is a Survival Crafting FPS taking inspiration primarily from Half-Life 1 and SCP/Control. Play solo or with friends as you manage hunger, thirst and more while improving various skills as you attempt to survive an assortment of invaders from a dozen realms.

The world is divided into the various Sectors of the facility alongside various "Portal Worlds", pockets of other dimension you warp to for gathering resources and navigation.

It's Half Life 1 + SCP but you're a random scientist and there is no Freeman. Survive, try to escape, and build insane gadgets while reading and hearing about the inner workings of an anomaly containment and research facility gone mad.

I'm bad at megathreads, leave suggestions in the replies.

Please use spoiler tags when discussing plot or areas past Sector 2, Manufacturing! A huge chunk of this game's appeal comes from experiencing new things.

The first Major DLC for the game was just announced, as well! Endgame spoilers in this trailer, as the DLC is post-game.

Oh yeah, I played this in EA with a few other people, not usually into OWSC games but this one held me for a while. It's a fun time with friends!
It's changed pretty drastically since EA as well (depending on when exactly you played it), so I definitely think it'd be worth giving another shot once the DLC drops.

Also, while this game is often tagged as an "open world" game, TBH I think that's not really accurate. It has very linear progression and a storyline you're following, with the openness coming from how each sector is designed. Some sections are like completely linear too.

The Yeen Mod is required frankly, excellent piece of work.
