Zenless Zone Zero takes place in a post-apocalyptic city, New Eridu, which is the last shelter for civilization following a supernatural disaster known as the “Hollows.” Players assume the role of a “Proxy” and fight creatures called “Ethereals.” Proxies are special professionals who help guide people who explore the Hollows in order to extract resources.
