'''''Enemy Zero''''' is a 1996 survival horror adventure video game for the Sega Saturn and Windows PCs. It is the second entry in the ''[[D (video game)|D]]'' series.
It is said that the worst enemies are those you can't see... never has this been more true than in Sega Saturn exclusive Enemy Zero. One of three games in now-defunct WARP's "[[D Trilogy]]", the game has you playing as Laura, an amnesiac on a space station attacked by aliens. Seems like a fairly standard set-up, right? Well, the aliens are invisible. Not only that, but unlike most [[Survival Horror]] games, you only have one life to your name. Yes, one hit, and the game's over. Whether this is a challenge or a cheap shot is up to the player, and indeed opinions on this game are mixed, but for those interested, it's worth a shot.
 
Laura Lewis is awakened from her cryogenic slumber on the AKI space station by a malfunction. This error wipes out most of her memory. As if that wasn't unfortunate enough, the station is being attacked by aliens—completely invisible aliens whom Laura can find only by listening for them. And being only human, [[One-Hit-Point Wonder|Laura can't take much damage]], and has but one life to live...
