Kessler Syndrome

Kessler Syndrome is an amateur/indie adventure game where you need to survive by moving around in 3D on a damaged space station. Cool premise, it's a shame about the implementation. One important note is that even though this is an amateur project, it does seem to be sincerely and genuinely made. I couldn't find any flipped assets, plagiarism or any other kind of insincere actions from the developer, but unfortunately genuine intentions alone are not enough to produce a brilliant PC gaming experience. It's also very short, and I know it's free, so that's fine, but it should factor into your decision about whether you want to download this or not. It feels a lot like a tech demo or a student project. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets with a crap 2D retro pixel filter slapped over, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the early 1990s. You can't turn the filter off, either. This very poor quality visual style is a method that lazy devs often use to disguise their lack of talent/interest in doing the graphics properly and tr…

Honestly, on the surface this isn't a BAD game, but the choice of using the zero gravity movement and not really make the areas look any different to help navigate meant I was getting lost a LOT and just getting annoyed when I would get turned around and be upside down.

sucks even for free haha

The game has potential! The atmosphere and style are amazing. And the idea that you can move at any direction is very cool! But currently, the movement is frustrating: Mouse speed is dependent on what direction you are looking at. Very fast or very slow. Rolling (Q and E) feels stiff and slow. It has no inertia. Navigation around the ship is confusing, the colored wires and signs help. But it is still easy to get lost. I can't comment on the tasks because I didn't do a lot of them. Also I think I softlocked myself at the end of day 2 because I was unable to go to sleep after doing all the tasks. Perhaps I interacted with a wrong computer?

Good art direction, good premise, unfortunately I think the dev forgot to make a game.

It was ok, the 3rd day got confusing https://youtu.be/p46OehL78AE is my video on it.
