Absolute Zero is a 1995 hybrid game from Domark Software, released for PC and DOS, blending shooting, simulation, puzzle, and turn-based strategy elements across a science fiction setting. The story takes place in the 24th century on Europa, a frozen moon of Jupiter where Earth has established a colony dedicated to water extraction. During routine excavations, one of the mining facilities uncovers the remains of a dormant alien civilization. The creatures awaken and immediately launch a violent assault, wiping out the colony's miners and destroying its capital city. Players take command of the surviving colony's defense, working to repel the alien threat and protect what remains of the settlement until reinforcements can arrive. The game combines multiple genres to deliver a variety of gameplay challenges centered on tactical decision-making and direct combat against the hostile extraterrestrial force.
