"Event[0] is a game about building a personal relationship with a machine. You type messages into a computer, and Kaizen answers. As in any relationship, you experience gratitude, disappointment, and sometimes jealousy. It is by working through fears and anxieties of your virtual companion that you will find your way back to Earth."

Event[0] Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
You might have noticed I’ve danced fairly carefully around any plot details or other characters in the game. There are two reasons for that. One) The surprises, twists, and puzzles are fantastic and should be experienced with as little foreknowledge as possible for maximum effect. And two) There aren’t that many of them.
Event[0] succeeds because of that last line there: my relationship with Kaizen. The entire experience hinges on your ability to form a relationship with this character at the heart of the story, an AI of all things. The best books, movies and video games try to make you feel something, and to that end Event[0] is an interesting experiment and a worthwhile experience that stands out as very unique game despite its humble roots.
Event[0] is a sci-fi narrative exploration game where you, stranded in space with only an unstable AI computer for company, must build a relationship through text conversations to survive and return to earth.
Event [0] is a fun and interesting exploration game. Its use of conversation to progress the story is one of the more unique things that I have seen in recent memory. It is a little short, but the ability to get a different ending lengthens the game. While the game does feel like it is missing something in its story, the overall experience is memorable and enjoyable.
