Blood Zero is a 2002 video game for Microsoft Windows by Ska Software. It is an action computer role-playing game (CRPG), much in the tradition of Legend of Zelda and Diablo. Where this game differs is that the player may control up to four characters alone, team up with computer controlled allies, or have a friend join and fight with them.

It is a little known fact that a quarter of humans on Earth do not have souls. When a person loses their will to live, their soul goes to what is called the bad universe, and their body lives on as an automaton in the world we all live in.

There are billions of these soulless automatons walking on this Earth today. The player can identify them by the lack of life in their eyes.

When a soul is cast into the Bad Universe, the only way for it to return to its rightful body is to express such a will to live, it is judged right to live again by the higher powers. Until this is the case, the soul lives out several full lives there, spending a lifetime on the bad universe for every year its body does in the regular one.

What starts as a trip into town turns into something very different...
