0°N 0°W — or zeronorthzerowest — is a contemplative and surreal exploration game.

With no story or objectives given, the game simply invites you to follow your curiosity through 100 dreamlike dimensions.
Each of them has its own identity, which gives a different feeling whether by its graphic aspect, its atmosphere, or its world's structure.

This diversity, doubled by the fact that you access these dimensions randomly, keeps the player mentally engaged while exploring environments at their own pace.


0°N 0°W is the kind of game to get lost in. Its minimalist gameplay gives way to a meditative state, and its trippy visuals and eerie environments give a special feeling that I have never encountered in another experience.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a reference among story-driven, atmospheric horror games.

You play as Daniel, an amnesiac man, who awakens in the depths of a dark, deserted Prussian castle.
Throughout your exploration, you'll find notes from Daniel before his amnesia dedicated to the present Daniel, gradually revealing what is going on here.

The atmosphere of the castle is deeply disturbing and continues to grow in terror as you dive into its depths. The horrors you'll encounter, the mystery and mysticism around the story create a very Lovecraftian atmosphere.

Tension in this game mostly relies on its oppressive gameplay. With no way to fight back foes, the player is in a constant position of vulnerability, and the only way to survive is whether to hide or to run.
On top of that comes the fact that you'll need to manage Daniel's mental state. Keep staring at the entities or stay too long in the darkness and Daniel's sanity will decrease, causing him hallucinations and physical difficulties.


Amnesia: The Dark Descent is definitely a must-have for any horror enthusiast. Its Lovecraft-inspired environments are sometimes beautifully designed, and its game system keeps you terribly tense on your keyboard. Rarely has a horror game had such an effect on me; sweating when I was chased by a monster and seeing my heart race when I barely managed to hide myself in a closet.
