Event[0]
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.

74/100
An imaginative, atmospheric, and cleverly designed sci-fi adventure that’s over far too quickly.

4/5 stars
Event[0] has the length and teething pains of a tech demo, but tells a story to beautifully to overlook without good reason.

7.5/10
While Event{0} ends far too soon, the clever and emotive A.I. is a real treat to interact with. It’s far from a perfect implementation, but the unique and engaging story is one worth experiencing for fans of sci-fi exploration adventures that don’t mind a bit of reading.

A throwback to HAL
I had not heard about this game anywhere, but I found out about it during the release of Tacoma. This game hits all my sci-fi feels for older movies with Artificial Intelligence. It reminds me of The Turing Test, if it was based on investigation instead of platforming puzzles. I really recommend this game, and please, use headphones, the mood sounds and audio of this game is amazing. The only thing that was a big spotty was the control scheme, since you move forward and back with the mouse buttons, but you get used to it.

Thoroughly Enjoyable and Immersive!
A really enjoyable game, it you let it then the immersion really takes hold and you feel like you really are talking to an AI. Very clever programing to be able to immerse me 90% of the time. There are a few hickups with the communication every now and then but I found it really enjoyable and easy to overlook!

What lies beneath...
While the mechanic of "talking" with an artificial intelligence is often surprising, charming, and even a bit frightening at times, the simple fact that the game frequenty freezes, stutters, and crashes betrays any amount of wonder. Add in the minutes long initial loading time (not an exaggeration,) and the inability to change settings from within the game without crashing hard, and you have more frustration that detracts from what might have been an outstanding title. [My pc far exceeds the recommended specs.] I understand that this is based on an award-winning student project. As such, it's spectacular. The 80's aesthetic and retro-future gimmick is very well done. As a very short retail release, however, it seems both over-priced and lacks any proper support or fixes. In the end, I'll barely remember the excitment of the text parser, but will always remember that it nearly fried my computer. Disclosure: I received this title for free in a bundle with Tacoma. If I had paid any price, I would have instantly returned it for refund after the second time I had to force quit by turning off my pc.
