The Kepler Experiment
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
The Kepler Experiment is a survival-horror first-person shooter, drawing inspiration from games like Half-Life, Amnesia and System Shock 2.
It is a single-player campaign, with a playtime of roughly 1-2 hours.
Story
When you are rescued by the XSS Kepler, a research vessel that went mysteriously missing many years ago, you find yourself fighting the horrifying creatures that now call the ship home. Scavenge for supplies to stay alive. Dig deep and uncover the events that led to the Kepler’s demise.

Featuring
- Survival-horror gameplay – make every bullet count and use your limited resources wisely to fight off enemies and stay alive.
- Environmental puzzle solving – collect items in your inventory and use them to solve adventure-game-style environmental puzzles to make progress.
- Audio logs and notes – immerse yourself in the story, and discover the horrors that befell the crew, by collecting the logs scattered throughout the ship.
- Immersive setting and levels – explore the XSS Kepler's decks, its spacious lobbies, its cramped corridors.
- Original soundtrack – to complement the moody levels, The Kepler Experiment features a dark and atmospheric soundtrack.
- Fully voice acted with subtitles – with English and Russian text localisation available.

Notes on difficulty settings
There are three difficulty settings:
- casual, for those who want to experience the story without much challenge;
- normal, for a balanced survival-horror experience;
- hard, for those who want an extra-challenging survival-horror experience.
