Zone 0 is the first area of the game that the the Player encounters and the first of the multiple Zones that exists within the Nothingness. The Batter is dropped off here by some unknown force that communicates with the Player in the very beginning of the game and subsequently meets The Judge, a mysterious cat that encounters you almost immediately after appearing in the zone. This zone is short in game-play terms and introduces the Player to basic concepts such as movement, interaction, and combat mainly through The Judge. Basically, this zone serves as the game's "tutorial level".
