Abiotic Factor is a survival crafting experience for 1-6 players set in the depths of an underground research facility. Caught between paranormal containment failure, a military crusade, and chaos from a dozen realms, the world’s greatest minds must survive against the universe’s biggest threats.
Each input wears a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The color is the direction: green raises the score, red lowers it, grey sits neutral. ▼ marks a dock, ? a missing input, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret. These are the inputs and the direction each pushes.

You ever find one of those games that you just cannot help but play until your eyes hurt? For me, this is one of those games. I can't recommend it enough if the genre is up your alley. It's like Half Life and Valheim had a kid and it was raised by SCP: Containment Breach. Absolutely Brilliant.
After 60+ hours of "RECOMMENDED" I will actually switch this to "NOT RECOMMENDED". It's a great game in many respects, but the massive problems I have with it just keep growing. Possible minor spoilers ahead. A survival/crafting game with tons of exploration, shamelessly wrapped in Half-Life 1 aesthetics and atmosphere. Much less SCP than I expected even though it's clearly inspired by it. While its progression is...
