Overview
PATIENT ZERO, released on October 17, 2026, is a hardcore cooperative horror game from developer and publisher CHOKECLOUD. Designed for 1 to 6 players, it drops you into active quarantine zones during the first hours of a viral outbreak.
Your mission is straightforward on paper: locate the viral epicenters, plant containment charges, and evacuate before the area is erased—along with you. But the infection adapts, time is always running out, and every decision carries weight.
Death is permanent, so there is no room for hesitation.
Highlights
- Cooperative Horror for 1–6 Players: Play solo or team up with friends in online co-op. The game supports both single-player and multiplayer modes, with a strong emphasis on coordination.
- Containment and Extraction Gameplay: The core loop involves entering quarantine zones, finding epicenters, setting charges, and escaping before the zone is destroyed. It's a tense mix of exploration, action, and survival.
- Permanent Death and Adaptive Infection: The game is built around irreversible failure. The infection evolves as you play, and death is final, raising the stakes for every run.
Who It's For
PATIENT ZERO is for players who enjoy high-stakes cooperative horror with a realistic, story-rich atmosphere. If you like games where communication and quick thinking are essential, and where failure has real consequences, this will appeal to you.
It's also suited for those who appreciate the tension of survival horror and the challenge of coordinating under pressure. The game currently supports English, Spanish (Spain), Russian, and Simplified Chinese, so it's accessible to a broad audience.
