TinyBuild is an indie games developer and publisher best known for games like No Time To Explain, SpeedRunners and Hello Neighbor. During its TinyBuild Direct live stream earlier today, they announced several new games coming in 2021.

Expedition Zero

Developed by Enigmatic Machines, Expedition Zero is a survival horror game set in the heart of rural Siberia. Use your engineering skills to confront flesh-eating monsters as the last survivor of a Soviet scientific expedition. The unexpected meteorite crash turned the endless Siberian taiga forest into a nightmare exclusion zone.

The military bases went into radio silence, and the locals talked about the obscure flesh-eating creatures and devastated villages. The most advanced Soviet scientific team “Expedition Zero” was immediately sent to the zone with state-of-the-art research technology and mechanized protective suits. Many years later, the lone survivor of the team is still trying to find his way home.

Key Features

• Soviet engineer against monsters: confront dreadful creatures with brains and brawn, use your ingenuity and technical skills instead of weapons.
• Survive in the freezing Siberian taiga forest full of mysteries, unknown threats and endless horror.

The demo is now available on Steam. It is slated to launch sometime in 2021.
