SubZero

SubZero is a live-action interactive movie game set in a frozen apocalypse. You play as Leo, a warehouse clerk in Marina Bay who takes supplies from his workplace after the world freezes; that decision becomes key to his survival. Three survivors with very different temperaments enter his life as he faces a choice between hope and conspiracy.

The survivors

Molly is a sophomore studying archery at Marina Bay Sports Academy and the younger sister of Leo’s friend Sam. After debt-collecting gangsters severely injure Sam, she hides in Leo’s home. Tough, brave and rebellious, she may become a strong ally when it matters.

Erlinda works for Dorun, the world’s leading biotech conglomerate. Little else is known about her, and her motives are unclear; she once saved Leo’s life by chance. Reina is a diligent pastry chef who runs a food truck at Marina Bay’s beach plaza. Her cheerful sales pitches rarely draw customers, and she has an odd habit of grinning at strangers.

Choices and dice

Your decisions and dice rolls determine how the story unfolds. Choices affect relationships and affinity, change your dice modifiers with bonuses or penalties, and can unlock branching narratives. Managing those relationships and modifiers leads to different endings, while the story’s fate turns on the dice.

Survival in Marina Bay

The tropical hometown of Marina Bay has inexplicably fallen below freezing. The cold slows zombies, but it slows you too, and former neighbors may be more dangerous than the undead. Leo and the others must try to last until dawn.

The game presents its story through a blend of 80% first-person and 20% third-person footage, with action sequences filmed at 1080p, 30,000 kbps and 50 FPS. Its audio was recorded live on set.
