Description
Event[0] is an award-winning narrative exploration game where you must build a relationship with a lonely spaceship computer to get home. Set in a retrofuture inspired by sci-fi classics such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, the game is about forging a personal relationship with your only companion, an insecure AI entity capable of procedurally generating over two million lines of dialog. You interact with the computer, named Kaizen, by typing messages on terminals throughout the ship. The reality of your situation will emerge organically as you communicate with Kaizen and explore the mysterious ship in first-person perspective.

You’ll freely navigate evocative 3D environments brought to life with physics-based rendering and advanced lighting techniques. You’ll examine items to gather information and solve hacking puzzles as you progress. You can even leave the ship for breathtakingly scary spacewalks! All sound and music come from the environment; there is no traditional score. The ship is essentially the AI computer’s body, and reacts to Kaizen’s feelings by making different sounds—pay attention for clues!

As in any relationship, there can be gratitude, disappointment, or jealousy, and Kaizen reacts differently depending on its mood. By working through the fears and anxieties of your virtual companion, you can eventually find your way back to Earth—while unraveling the cryptic history of the ship and the 1980s society from which it emerged.

Love space? Love AIs? Then it is for you

Event[0] is basically a walking simulator with puzzles and logs reading. Quite simple but yet unique due to the game's responsive and interacting computer AI. You can hold conversations (well somewhat), compliment and command the AI to do various things and depending on how well you treat it... it'll be more or less nice to you in certain situations. The game itself is on the short side of the spectrum but will three multiple endings, you will probably be able to play it for a bit longer. There's a lot to explore and background lore to discover. For now I've only gotten one of the endings, I will replay in the future to get the other two. I recommend this game and it would be nice to see more games from the devs in the future!

A space oddity

Really short but fun space horror/detective experience, unfortunately ruined by weird lag spikes, crashes and performance problems. Had some nice moments trying to converse with the AI and definitely felt the tension in a lot of places, yet the immersion was often completely destroyed by the suddenly idiotic responses you would get. I wanted so much more to come out of our 'conversations' together, but in the end I even crashed on the ending. Would have gone for a refund if I didn't get it for free (courtesy of humble bundle monthly). Little to no computer support while searching for online solutions to my lag issues. Many grumbles.

A good catch . . .

Nice and good game. Not a top AAA+ rated flagship game, but a decent indie-like walking simulator. It has a very good atmosphere with retro vibe, and relatively good story. As most of the (indie) walking sims, it's not last long, we can finish around 6 hours. It is a good catch around 10 euro.

Very enjoyable

I really enjoyed the game for talking to the AI. Of course if you don't roleplay at all and just through stupid things at it, it will never notice and continue to give proper answers to progress the story. If you dig into it and ask the right questions at a moment where it makes sense, the answers are often very surprising and you learn a lot about what the AI thinks or plans. Everything in the game is done by text in the terminal, in case some people don't like such games. Then there is the beautiful graphic, I had all maxed and it looked very good. Especially the trips into space are fun and you hear the beautiful main theme over the radio. Only 4/5 because it is really short and depending on what end you choose by your actions, it can be quite confusing leaving many questions open.

Too expensive, but cool idea

If I had to reduce this game to a single statement, it’s “Short, sweet, and to the point.” You will not get a lot of time to spend in this game, but the time you do get outlines a fairly interesting plot using perhaps the best hybridization of the old-school text based point and click controls with modern tech and sensibilities. It is simply one of those games more people should probably play. However, that does not mean more people should buy it at asking price. This game is very short, and while interesting, not nearly the level of masterpiece such little content would have to be to demand $20. If you can get it for half off or better, it is definitely worth grabbing and enjoying, but the developer is simply asking too much for too little here.
