Event[0]

If you’re looking for something to break through the mould, look no further than Event [0], an innovative indie title with a lot of charm.

It’s difficult to speak more without delving into the story or spoiling. Event [0] is a unique experience and worthy anyone’s time. Especially for those interested into the sci-fi genre and has a fascination of artificial intelligence.

A tense and atmospheric, albeit brief battle of wits with an AI system will provide you with a solid evening of interactive story entertainment.

Though still a bit flawed in execution, players who want to see how narrative-based games can evolve should absolutely play Event[0].

Unconventional mix of first-person experience with traditional text games. Event [0] isn‘t the adventure in the truest sense of the word, but rather an experience allowing you to enjoy interaction with artificial intelligence. In principle, it is a simple matter that offers depth and philosophical plane. Gameplay is definitely not for everyone.

Event[0] is an interesting game with a very interesting concept. Think of it like HAL 9000, but much more limited in scope and threat. The novelty wore off for me within the first 30 minutes of playing, and unfortunately, then began to look at it more like a game to complete rather than an experience that needed to be seen.

My initial fascination with Event[0] quickly turned into disappointment. How am I supposed to build a relationship with an AI that would fail to trick a four-year-old in the Turing test? What’s more, the game lasts for 3 hours at most. It does offer various endings, but you influence them in the final stage of the game. [12/2016, p.73]

I really liked it. Intelligent, very good "sci-fiction" atmosphere. I liked to write "orders" to AI terminals ! very original. Also the AI chats. It was very fun and relaxing to play !

It's very interesting game, but don't get attached to what they advertised as the best way to communicate with in-game AI. If you type something that the AI was not programmed to answer, she gives you answer suggesting that she knows what you want to know, but won't tell, that's all.

The AI is a nice touch, but it is too dumb and the game has no other interesting things.

A unique game that could have been great, but in the end felt more broken than enjoyable. I liked talking to Kaizen to begin with, but as the puzzles increased in difficulty I was mostly just annoyed by how irrelevant answers I got from it. I also experienced some crashes and bugs. And it seems to be very poorly optimized as it made my PC work as hard on low settings as it does with AAA games on high quality settings. The story didn't make much sense to me in the end either and all I was left with was a shrug feeling after completing it.

SJW warning, You start with "are you he, she or THEY" then the game answers "YOU WERE VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT IT". Strong hatred for the game already but I push through the 10 min reeducation seminar featuring hippies, they, xem, xir and manilla war child + rio de jainero slumdog then the game takes all that info and dumbs it, never using it again. Then you're stuck with a chatbot of very low quality and boring puzzles. Linear, short, stupid. HATED IT.
