aloy was cast out from the nora tribe at birth and raised by an outcast named rost (jb blanc). as a child, she obtained a focus, a small augmented reality device that gives her special perceptive abilities. after coming of age, aloy (ashly burch) enters a competition called the proving to win the right to become a nora brave, and by extension, a member of the nora tribe. aloy wins the competition, but the nora are suddenly attacked by cultists. aloy is almost killed by their leader helis (crispin freeman), but is saved by rost, who sacrifices himself to save her. when aloy awakes, a matriarch explains that the cultists had gained control of corrupted machines. aloy also learns that as an infant, she was found at the foot of a sealed door. oseram foreigner olin (chook sibtain) informs aloy that the cultists are part of a group called the eclipse, and indicates that aloy was targeted due to her resemblance to an old world scientist named dr. elisabet sobeck (also voiced by burch). aloy locates the remnants of the company faro automated solutions and discovers that the old world was destroyed nearly 1,000 years ago after faro lost control of its automated "peacekeeper" military robots. the robots, which could self-replicate and consumed biomass as fuel, overran the planet and consumed the biosphere, stripping earth of all life. project zero dawn, a top secret project spearheaded by dr. sobeck, was a plan to create an automated terraforming system to eventually shut the robots down and restore life to earth.

peter brown at gamespot reflected on aloy's character development with amazement, adding that the process matured aloy and grew her confidence. one constant thrill to brown came from combating the machines, which he said took the spotlight and never lost its flair. he appreciated also that the main quests encouraged one to explore the environment. zoe delahunty-light, writing for gamesradar+, was fascinated with the intricacies of the game world and found integral value in the lore scattered among the ruins. she echoed brown's view that fighting machines maintained excitement throughout. giant bomb's jeff gerstmann declared "horizon zero dawn" as "a near-perfect story" with a satisfying conclusion, and emphasised that it contained substantial depth. lucy o'brien at ign admired its weight in meaning, while welcoming the charm of the protagonist's personality. a considerable impression was made with the combat, which was stated as the game's most compelling accomplishment. writing for "polygon", philip kollar applauded the game as what he dubbed the "refutation" of guerrilla games' past work, a change of pace he described as "refreshing". aloy was observed to be perfectly coupled with the story in that she offered the curiosity to seek out its many mysteries. kollar perceived the focus as "key to combat" and the machines as engaging foes in battle. colm ahern of videogamer.com wrote in his verdict, "destroying large robot beasts while frantically switching between weapons is intoxicating, but the strength of "horizon zero dawn" is in aloy's engaging quest to find out who she really is".
