Emissary Zero drops the player into a massive, decaying structure with one task—find the Moon. There are no maps, no objective markers, and no direct support aside from brief voice contact with a distant operator. The environment is constructed with long corridors, flickering lights, locked systems, and shifting geometry. Every door opened feels like a risk, and every shadow could hold more than just absence. The gameplay is designed to keep the player unsure of what’s ahead, relying on movement, caution, and careful observation rather than combat or scripted sequences.
The game supports single-player, online co-op (up to four players), and local split-screen for two. When in multiplayer, players must communicate carefully, as most of the environment actively punishes noise or carelessness. Voice chat is proximity-based, adding tension to separation. Objectives include rerouting power, relocating damaged devices, connecting unstable circuits, and uncovering locked areas. All resources are physical—cables must be carried, systems must be repaired manually, and nothing is automated. Failure often comes from poor planning or rushing, not from sudden threats.
Creatures within the structure don’t follow predictable patterns. Some stand motionless until observed, others react only to specific triggers like movement or light. The Moon, once found, becomes both a beacon and a burden. Extracting it triggers changes in the layout, increases in threat activity, and forces a shift from cautious exploration to strategic escape. Emissary Zero builds pressure through controlled pacing, limited information, and environmental design. Every session plays differently, shaped by player behavior, group decisions, and how much risk they’re willing to take in order to finish the task.
