About This Game

AREA 83

Some Secrets Should Stay Buried.

AREA 83 is a first-person survival horror shooter set inside a mysterious research facility where a classified experiment has gone catastrophically wrong.

What should have been a routine investigation quickly becomes a fight for survival.

The facility is in chaos. Its corridors are abandoned, its security systems have failed, and something deadly is roaming the halls.

Armed with limited supplies and guided by a mysterious radio operator, you must uncover what happened inside AREA 83 — and find a way out alive.

EXPLORE THE FACILITY

Search dark corridors, abandoned medical wards, security offices and restricted underground laboratories. Discover hidden documents, audio recordings and evidence that reveals the disturbing truth behind the facility.

SURVIVE THE INFECTED

The facility's former occupants are no longer human. Fight your way through infected patients and deadly creatures using firearms, careful movement and whatever supplies you can find.

Every encounter could be your last.

UNCOVER THE TRUTH

Restore power, access restricted areas, investigate disturbing experiments and piece together the events that led to the facility's collapse.

But be warned — some discoveries are better left buried.

FIGHT TO ESCAPE

Manage your ammunition, protect yourself from relentless enemies and complete dangerous objectives while the infected close in around you.
