History
E0 is a game in which the gameplay sequences alternate between interactive FMV and real time exploration, both from a first person perspective. Starring Laura of D fame, the game is set on a human spaceship in deep space. When Laura is woken from hypersleep, she finds the mangled corpses of her comrades. She feels a chilling presence in the dark rooms and corridors of the ship; the presence of an invisible alien. FMV may stand for: Full motion video For Maximum Value, a store brand of Kroger Fair market value Fujitsu Multimedia Vision, a personal computer produced by Fujitsu. ...

D is a 1995 survival horror/puzzle computer and video game published by Acclaim Entertainment and developed by Warp. ...
The gameplay of E0 is unique. Enemies are not visible, 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. The system, although daring and unconventional, was extremely unforgiving, and the game was critically panned.
Influences The game borrows heavily from the film Alien, including a number of direct references to the film - most notably the initial flyby shot of the Aki and the caption text "Returning to Earth", just as the Nostromo did at the beginning of Alien, and the helmet shot in the introduction, where computer screens are reflected in the visors. Alien is a 1979 science fiction/horror film directed by Ridley Scott, from an original story by Dan OBannon and Ronald Shusett. ...
Characters Laura Lewis: Copilot of the AKI space station, Laura has lost most of her memory due to a malfunction during her awakening from cryogenic sleep. She is 32 years old, American, and has B blood type.
Ronny: The ship's captain. 45 years old and American. Although Ronny holds ultimate authority over shipboard activities, it's rare that he issues a direct order. He tries not to be away from his cabin during emergency situations, transforming it into a command center of sorts.
David Barnard: A sub-captain of the AKI, David's duties as sub-captain keep most of his time occupied, but when he has a free moment he likes to get back to his cabin to catch up on his reading. David is 31 years old and from England.
Kimberly Hurd: Kimberly is of African American heritage. She is also 32 years old and American. The counselor of the AKI spacecraft, she is around to ensure smooth relations between the crew members.
Parker: Parker is the AKI's engineer. A 30-year old bachelor from America; his room on the AKI was filled with beer cans and pin-up posters. Big-hearted and friendly, but has no cleaning ability. As a side note to the influences from the movie Alien in this game, the film also has an African American character named simply "Parker".
Marcus: The ship's German physician, 39-year old Dr. Marcus tends the needs of the sick and injured, provides periodic check-ups, and even does occasional psychological counseling. He presents a solid, serious image, but some of his personal effects betray a hidden side to his character.
George Takahashi: An eccentric 48-year old computer engineer from Japan, Takahashi is a workaholic and perfectionist who centers his existence around his computer. When he isn't taking a cat nap, he can usually be found staring into the monitor. He makes it a policy never to answer his video phone when he's working on a project, which hasn't won him any popularity contests with rest of the crew.
Laura, Kimberly, and Parker reappear and have major roles in D2. D2 is a survival horror video game developed by the Japanese company WARP and published by Sega in Japan and the United States for Sega Dreamcast. ...
Production Enemy Zero began life on Sony’s PSX. Eventually Kenji Eno began to get irritated with Sony and at an E3 conference, made a shocking move; Eno started to show a preview of Enemy Zero. At the sight of its impressive graphics, the PlayStation fans cheered. At the end of the clips the PlayStation logo appeared but began to slowly transition into the Sega Saturn logo. The crowd fell silent, and a new crowd began to cheer, the Sega fans.[citation needed] To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ...

While Eno did the music for D, Michael Nyman was hired to create a score for WARP’s new title. With much hype in Japan, E0 was released in 1997 under Sega Enterprises. Critically panned, it was later ported to the PC. A small promotion for E0 was a replica of the gun used in the game, delivered to 20 recipients by Kenji Eno himself. Michael Nyman (born March 23, 1944) is a British minimalist composer, pianist, librettist and musicologist, perhaps best known for the many scores he wrote during his lengthy collaboration with the British filmmaker Peter Greenaway. ...

Story Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. Aboard the AKI space craft, a space station dedicated to biological research, we come to find Laura in a deep cryogenic slumber. The jets of the chamber begin to dissipate as the crafts emergency systems are activated. Laura is awoken by a large detonation on her deck. Outside of a door marked with the letters E0, something of great strength is trying to break free. The door is thrown down like a sheet of aluminum and the door is shrouded by a bright incandescent light, followed by a horrific growl. Pipes and the remains of the steel door shift around as if being stepped on. Enemy Zero is loose. Laura, quite unaware of what is happening, uses the video phone located above her sleep chamber to contact one of her crewmates, Parker Jackson. Parker is speaking in a struggle, knowing that the voice networking systems aren’t working. Laura confusingly watches as Parker jolts his head instantly away from the monitor and to his room entryway doors. He can hear a screech that sends him backing up to reach for his gun. Laura watches as her friend Parker is mutilated by an indistinguishable enemy. In horror she begins to violently shake the screen only to realize that Parker is dead.
She knows E0 is loose. Getting dressed and grabbing her gun, Laura proceeds to find out what, and how it got loose. Venturing through the ship, her unique "guidance system" warns of an invisible presence in the corridor in front of her. Laura’s mission is to find out what this enemy is and to find her crew or the remains of her crew. And kill this monster before it kills her.
