Our take on Dead GroundZ
The store emphasis on an in-depth story and future episode schedule may obscure the current scope: the first version contains Episodes 0 through 3, while Episodes 4 through 6 are presented as planned additions rather than included content.
What is Dead GroundZ?
Play as an agent of White Parasol investigating Black Rain, a conglomerate conducting secret experiments on a remote island.
Dead GroundZ combines first-person VR combat with an investigation-driven story involving mysterious events, multiple missions, and characters connected to the conspiracy. Players collect firearms and science-fiction weapons while fighting numerous creatures across islands, bridges, tunnels, helistops, caves, dungeons, and laboratories. More than 30 types of reactive non-player characters appear during the game. Episode 0 through Episode 3 are included in the first version, with the vendor stating that additional episodes are planned every three months through Episode 6. Graphic settings can be adjusted for different player needs.
