M.E.A.T. II: Absolute Zero

M.E.A.T. II: Absolute Zero is a fast-paced first-person shooter and direct continuation of M.E.A.T RPG. You play as Sir Duncan H. Culligan, fighting mutants and the occult MBSXII Sect in a dark, gore-filled world. Culligan is a man scarred by tragedy, an epidemic and the collapse of a 19th-century Canadian mining town. The Sect uses a mysterious substance called Rock Resin, or Telestarion, to prepare a catastrophe beyond a local apocalypse; as you confront those behind it, you uncover Telestarion’s origins and its presence in Culligan’s veins.

Combat and abilities

You fight through constant enemy pressure using a modern movement system and special abilities. Death does not punish you; it teaches you, while mistakes are punished instantly and progress depends on skill. You can dash, double jump, freeze enemies and slow time with Absolute Zero, tear enemies apart or kick them into other mutants, and fire mutant flesh from within. Weapons also have special abilities, including an Ice Revolver, a Black Hole shot and a music-playing BDF pickaxe.

Story and challenges

Early Access includes six story chapters, six boss fights with distinct mechanics, and an additional arena or challenge mode. The game also has six story maps and a full ability system. Enemies include grotesque mutants and twisted abominations, and they block your path until you destroy them.

World and sound

The game combines retro pixel-art 2D visuals with 3D environments and modern effects, alongside a dark horror atmosphere and black humor. Its aggressive, high-energy soundtrack is composed by Brainfreezer. The English voice acting is by Skits (DOPE D.O.D.); the Polish version is voiced by SŁOŃ (Brain Dead Familia).
