Let’s hope eight bits are enough.
Zero Page is a single-player survival horror puzzle game that dares you to survive the horror of solving puzzles by yourself in space. If that wasn’t horrifying enough, you’re also going to have to solve them on a deserted spaceship using the only piece of equipment that still works: a personal computer from 1981. But with a little bit of BASIC and a lot of high-stakes debugging, you might just live long enough to find out why you’re alone, why you’re in space, why you’re on a dying ship circling an unknown planet, and why that ship wants to kill you.

FAQ
Don’t I know that computer?
Yep, it’s a full-fledged emulation of a very popular computer from the early 1980s. You can use floppy disks, program things in BASIC, even write things in assembly language if you’re keen.
When can I play the game?
The game is currently being primarily developed by one person, so it’s not the fastest development cycle ever seen. That said, constant progress is being made and a couple decades of experience are helping to push it along.
If you’re interested in being added to our playtesting roster, please contact us.
