Gameplay

Zenless Zone Zerois an action role-playing game. The player assumes the role of a Proxy (the protagonist known as Wise or Belle), a character who helps others explore hostilealternate dimensionscalled Hollows.[4][5]Over time, the Proxy will recruit newpartymembers known as Agents to fight the Ethereal and other enemies. In addition to the Proxy, players use assistants known as Bangboos.[5]

The gameplay is split into two different modes: a "TV Mode" and "Combat Mode." TV Mode gameplay resembles a2Ddungeon crawlergame, with the Proxy roaming on tiles that resemble TVs to find treasure, solve puzzles, and fight Ethereals. If the Proxy steps on an enemy tile, the party is sent to "Combat Mode," where they fight in a3Dhack and slash-likegame mode.

By combining the abilities of different Agents and Bangboos, players can deal greater damage andcombos(known as Chain Attack) onto enemies.[5][6][7]The game features anin-game clock system,with the days split into morning, afternoon, evening, and midnight.[5]

Setting

[edit]

The game takes place in apost-apocalypticfuturistic haven known as New Eridu. Largepocket dimensionscalled Hollows plague the world, engulfing the land and spawning hostile monsters called Ethereals, who have wreaked havoc on humanity. After the fall of Eridu, a group of survivors established a bastion against the invaders known as New Eridu. The group survived the oncoming onslaught by extracting a substance called Ether from the Hollows, which is used as a potent energy source.[8]

Several factions are present in the game. The Cunning Hares, formally known as Gentle House, is an “odd jobs” agency from which the player obtains their first four agents. Belobog Heavy Industries and Victoria Housing Co specialize in construction and housekeeping, respectively. Hollow Special Operations Section 6 is a frontline unit of Hollow Special Operations, which is based in the original Eridu location. The Criminal Investigation Special Response Team is a branch of New Eridu Public Security. Lastly, the Sons of Calydon is a biker gang.[9]

The story followsPhaethon,two siblings who work as Proxies on Sixth Street in New Eridu. The siblings possess a special technology known as the Hollow Deep Dive System, which allows them to remotely monitor and navigate Agents within Hollows through the use of a Bangboo.

Despite falling into the "futuristic" category,Zenless Zone Zeroadopts a retro and analog aesthetic, which is explained by the notion that modern technology is susceptible to corruption from overexposure to Ether. Characters operateflip-phonesormobile phonesreminiscent of models from the 2000s and 2010s. The two main protagonists reside in avideo store(known as Random Play), where New Eridu citizens can rentVHS tapes.[10]CRT television setsreminiscent of those from the early 1980s and 1990s are commonly seen throughout the game. There are also references to 1990s media as well asgrungeorstreet-styledesigns present throughout New Eridu.

[edit]

The development team stressed thatZenless Zone Zerohas its own unique style.[29][30]

Characters inZenless Zone Zerohave different design based on their faction; For instance, the design for Victoria Housekeeping characters is based on Victorian-era butlers and maids with tropes from horror movies.[10]There is an emphasis for quality over quantity in regards to development of characters.[29]

Unlike the character designs in MiHoYo's previous games such asGenshin ImpactandHonkai: Star Rail,Zenless Zone Zerotook a different direction with its variety of playable characters; There are non-human playable characters such as Ben Bigger, a grizzly bear, Soukaku, a blue-coloredoni,and Billy Kid, a cyborg gunslinger.[31][32]During the planning stages, these non-human characters were not intended to be present in the game but the team did find them fun and later incorporated them into the game.[33]

According to the producer Li Zhenyu main protagonists Wise and Belle have independent roles from each other.[34]
