Abiotic Factor is a survival crafting game set in the GATE Cascade Facility. In this world, you are a scientist who is pushing the limits of human knowledge and the understanding of our world and worlds beyond it. You can think of this world as being a kind of SCP-like world that pulls inspiration from SCP, Control, and the Backrooms. 

Before we dive into this review, I need to get this out of the way: Abiotic Factor has changed my perception of survival crafting games and is currently my favorite game of the year. I played a large chunk of this game with a friend, and we had a blast. It is not without its faults, bugs, and balance issues, but that hasn’t stopped me from putting over 125 hours in over a couple of weeks. This is a spoiler-heavy review!
