Story:Enemy Zero was the second game to star the digital character Laura Lewis—the first being D.
In E0, gameplay sequences alternate between interactive FMV and real time exploration, both from a first person perspective. The interactive FMV component uses gameplay identical to an earlier Warp game, D.
The real time component of E0 is unique. Enemies are invisible, and location is only possible through the use of sound, with notes of different pitch helping the player find the distance and direction of enemies. Additionally, every gun in the game must be charged up immediately before each shot, and charging a shot for too long will cause the charge to dissipate, after which the charging must start over. Since all available guns have very limited range, this makes timing crucial; beginning to charge the gun too late or too soon will allow the enemy to reach Laura, resulting in an immediate game over.
In Enemy Zero, reloading the gun and moving the character around are mechanics that have been made intentionally slow,[4] which stimulates players to avoid combat and direct contact with the alien enemies as much as possible. In the early segments of the game, avoiding detection is not only recommended; it is required, since the player has no means to defend him or herself without a gun. Enemy Zero is an example of a game containing stealth elements[5] roughly two years before the release of Metal Gear Solid popularized the genre worldwide, though ten years after Metal Gear started the genre in 1987.Show more

A horror classic turning 30 next year! The game runs natively on Windows 10- only thing needed is to remove the disc swap checking and maybe native controller support (although can use DS4Win or Joy2Win).
Enemy Zero has one of the more unique game mechanics for "FMV" games of this style - you need to use the sounds of the monsters to find them - they don't show up visually otherwise! All of Kenji Eno's games while he was at WARP (including "D", D2) really need to see more distribution as they've been criminally unavailable for years. At least "D" saw a release on GOG a couple years ago! Here's to seeing more great horror and adventure games from the past see a new resurgence!
The second title of Kenji Eno's "Laura Trilogy" as one may want to refer to it. An absolutely brilliant horror game that truthfully is rather brutal and hard as well - but maybe one of the greatest takes on the horror genre in terms of how on edge it has the player from start to finish. Kenji Eno's legacy deserves to be preserved proper.
