I’m very happy to announce the release of the Kepler Experiment, a survival-horror first-person shooter. It is available as a free download.
The Kepler Experiment aims to fuse old-school shooter mechanics (think Quake and Half-Life) with horror and survival-horror themes.
I started working on Kepler just over two years ago, largely as a project to experiment with the then newly released 4.0 version of the Godot Engine. I can’t praise the Godot Engine highly enough – it’s a truly wonderful engine, and freely available for everybody to use.
It comes fully-subtitled, with English and Russian localisation (many thanks to Artem for providing the Russian translation). It also features an original soundtrack, wonderfully composed by Død Beverte (which is available for separate purchase). I also appreciate the voice actors, Ronald Hamrák and Andrew Murray, both returning from The Apocalypse, for providing voices to the in-game characters.
I look forward to hearing of your experiences with the game. If you’ve any questions or feedback, don’t hesitate to reach out.
