Indie Fund Backs Event[0]

What would you say to a computer if your life depended on it?Event[0] explores this question by introducing you to an uncomfortably realized artificial intelligence, alone in space, on a ship where something has gone terribly wrong. The seemingly sentient software displays a troubling range of human emotions, and what story unfolds depends on how you choose to respond. But unlike how most narrative games work, these conversations aren’t some multiple choice quiz. Players are free to type in whatever they want, and must live with the ambiguous consequences of those words. Event[0] is an entirely unique experience that Indie Fund is proud to support.Event[0] is the first game by Ocelot Society, a Paris-based team that began working on this ambitious project in 2013 as graduate students at the National School of Video Game and Interactive Media. The project has been recognized for innovation and narrative at numerous international festivals, and is also being supported by the Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée (CNC).<figure>

You can learn more about the game at their site or follow them onTwitter.
