About the Game

GATE stands as humanity's premier scientific institution, running a worldwide network of classified research facilities that push the boundaries of every known discipline — and plenty of unknown ones.

As a member of the GATE team, your mission is to advance human understanding and investigate the impossible — from artifacts that warp gravitational forces to paranormal creatures driven by pure predatory instinct. Discretion, protection, and containment are the three pillars of daily operations… under normal circumstances.

Those circumstances are long gone. A catastrophic breach has transformed your once-prestigious workplace into an interdimensional war zone: dangerous anomalous entities roam freely, hostile forces are pouring through dimensional portals, and a shadowy militant faction called The Order has launched an indiscriminate assault on both personnel and entities alike, hell-bent on claiming artifacts and crushing the chaos at any cost.

Evacuation protocols have collapsed and reinforcements aren't coming. Trapped deep underground, you and your fellow scientists must unite, devise an escape strategy, and carve out a temporary existence within the bowels of this subterranean complex.

Abiotic Factor injects a 90s sci-fi aesthetic and deep character progression into the multiplayer open world survival crafting genre. Groups of up to 6 players select their PhDs, customize their scientist, gear up, and delve into a sprawling underground facility teeming with supernatural relics, transdimensional adversaries, and catastrophically failed experiments.

With extraterrestrial predators stalking the corridors, trigger-happy soldiers patrolling the halls, and cutting-edge robotic security systems turning against their own staff, danger lurks around every corner. Combat isn't a scientist's strong suit — so leverage that brilliant mind instead: engineer inventive and unconventional tools, weapons, and equipment ranging from basic nets and wooden bats all the way up to laser cannons and sophisticated trap systems. Use every ounce of scientific ingenuity at your disposal!

Settle in — this is your home now. Strip abandoned offices and deserted laboratories for materials, raid vending machines for supplies, and commandeer company assets to construct a new headquarters as you chart the facility's depths. When it's time to relocate, haul everything you own across the complex using handcarts, forklifts, SUVs, teleporters, and a variety of other transport options.

Pull on your lab coat and put that doctorate to work: specializations range from Phytogenetic Botanist to Defense Analyst and Archotechnic Consultant — among many others — each offering unique advantages critical to your team's survival. Mix and match traits and skills, then level up alongside your fellow scientists to unlock powerful perks and abilities, building the ultimate collaborative scientific unit.

A career at GATE was everything you ever wanted — perishing here certainly wasn't in the five-year plan. Venture through this enormous subterranean facility and journey into worlds far beyond it, harnessing the most extraordinary technology ever kept hidden from the public in this sweeping interdimensional sci-fi survival adventure!

Yeah it's just casually one of the best open world survival crafting games. Like, really. The way the map layout works is pure genius and every time you unlock a new section of the map it's one of the most satisfying

One of the best survival sims hands down and overall the best scp-type I've ever played. Devs obviously put a lot of love not only in the mechanics but the environments, story and voice acting too. Priced fairly and

Has tons of areas, replayability and a wondeful time for solo or 2+ People. Crafting and Base Building can be done anywhere with proper set ups. Recommended to do semi-role (Ranged/Melee) based combat with 3+ people.
