Quantum Error is a 2023 action horror video game developed and published by American[2] studio TeamKill Media for the PlayStation 5.

Gameplay

Players control Jacob Thomas, a firefighter, as he attempts to deal with various issues at research facilities in outer space. Quantum Error is a shooter game with cosmic horror themes that can be played in either first-person or third-person perspective. Players must contend with both terrorists and monsters while attempting to rescue survivors using firefighting equipment. DualSense controllers provide feedback when encountering hazards, such as vibrating to indicate doors that are dangerously hot. Players can use quintessence to improve Thomas' skills, but there are no skill trees. Players' progress is saved at checkpoints.[3]

Development

TeamKill Media initially announced support for the PlayStation 4, but they could not get Quantum Error to perform playably and canceled support . They intend to port it to Windows and Xbox Series X/S sometime later.[4] It was released on PlayStation 5 on November 3, 2023.[5]

Reception

Quantum Error received unfavorable reviews on Metacritic.[6] Metacritic listed it the fourth worst game of 2023.[7] GamesRadar and Gaming Bolt praised the premise but said the art direction tried too hard to be cinematic.[3][8] Although IGN described it as stylish and creepy, they said it was ruined by its bugs, poor enemy AI, checkpoint system, and story.[9] Bloody Disgusting called it one of the worst games of 2023 and said it is "a failure on nearly every level".[10]
