Level Zero: Extraction is a simple concept, it’s what you would get if Escape From Tarkov took place in the Alien universe. This combines the gear fear of the former with the genuine terror of being stalked by an alien to create an incredibly tense experience.

It may not sound particularly unique, effectively taking the idea of one of the most popular games in the world and throwing it into a world that holds more than a few similarities to one of the most loved film universes ever created, but there is one key feature that makes Level Zero: Extraction a little more interesting than that—light.

When you spawn in as a human on the only map available in the closed beta, an abandoned research facility in the South Pole, you likely won’t be able to see much with all the lights off and little to no natural light filtering in. You’ll have to quickly flip on your flashlight, which has a very limited battery although does magically recharge while off, to create a thin and weak beam of light until you can stumble your way to a light switch and safety.
