Welcome to Level Zero: Extraction
Hello, mercenary. We have a job for you.
Over the past several months, we have been working on an updated vision for Level Zero. Today, our team at Doghowl is finally ready to reveal it, and we couldn't be more excited.
Apart from being huge fans of horror games like Alien: Isolation, we are also enthusiasts of titles like Hunt: Showdown. Throughout development, we've experimented with various gameplay mechanics. As a team, we concluded that blending ASYMMETRICAL SURVIVAL HORROR with EXTRACTION would yield a unique experience currently absent in the market. We believe the fear of losing your hard-earned loot after a failed extraction attempt will only amplify the horror. Needless to say, all pre-existing light and stealth mechanics will remain intact. Read more about the new features below.
This creative pivot should help us shape our game into a solid experience that all of us at Doghowl will be proud of. To ensure that, we're letting our players test it. The Closed Beta we announced a while ago is starting on March 15th! Go to our Steam page and click "Request Access" to participate:
JOIN CLOSED BETA
MARCH 15-18

We will invite you to the Beta in batches, so if you're not selected right away, don't worry—you may have your chance later.
For a first peek at the reimagined gameplay, check out the new trailer below:
Now, let's talk about the main features of LZ:E.
▸ MULTIPLAYER EXTRACTION HORROR ◂
Embark on a dangerous scavenging expedition where three teams of up to 3 mercenaries compete for loot and dare to come back. Or take on the role of two deadly alien monsters and hunt for human prey.
▸ HIGH-STAKES PvPvPvE ◂
Venture out solo or with a team, and extract as much valuable loot as possible: weapons, gadgets, research data, crafting resources, and more. Cooperate, be a lone wolf, or betray other players. But remember: Death means losing almost everything that's on you. Other mercs compete for valuables and extraction points while player-controlled aliens lurk in the shadows, determined to hunt you down.
▸ BRUTALLY IMMERSIVE COMBAT ◂
Devastate enemies with a vast arsenal of melee weapons like hammers, bats, and machetes, or engage in tense shootouts using pistols, SMGs, shotguns, assault rifles, nail guns, flamethrowers, mines, grenades, and more.
▸ DEEP PROGRESSION & CUSTOMIZATION ◂
Use the loot you’ve extracted to grow your reputation with several traders and acquire better gear as well as unique items. Play as a human and a monster to level up and unlock new perks to develop your playstyle. Each firearm can be upgraded and customized.
We hope you are as excited as we are about this new direction we've taken. Before we let you go, there's something we want to share. Although there's no release date just yet, we are ready to disclose that LZ:E will launch in Early Access. It will allow us to develop the game under the watchful eye of our player base, implementing community ideas and listening closely to feedback.
Thank you for your sustained support and patience, everybody! See you on March 15th.
