About Black Zone

Black Zone is a non-scrolling platform adventure where the player infiltrates a deserted city. This environment was abandoned after a brief alien incursion that left behind autonomous machinery and a strange red structure.

Progress requires interacting with control panels to program the local devices. This system allows the modification of environmental elements like moving platforms and barriers, which is necessary to advance.

The setting is filled with manifestations of alien technology, including gravity-altering machines and spatial distortions. The player will also encounter strange creatures and physical anomalies while exploring the decaying urban landscape.

The core objective is to investigate the mystery of the vanished population by uncovering the secrets left by the departed invaders. The game shares stylistic similarities with the developer's earlier title, Mick.
