Both the Kickstarter campaign launched and a demo has been released for Shadows of Kepler, the sci-fi horror survival FPS from indie developer Infinite Hole.
In the game, elements of the RPG genre is incorporated into the sci-fi horror survival experience to create a unique first person game style. Players take on the role of Sargent Cooper where they will make unconscious decisions that create a butterfly effect. All choices while some seemingly small will put the player onto a very specific path within this terrifying journey.
The story itself is set after a great catastrophe on Earth. Players find themselves waking up as Sargent Cooper on spaceship where everything appears normal until something bad happens. Cooper finds a new planet named Kepler.
Players are challenged to survive in the unique environment of Kepler that contains several dangerous locations. The spaceship does offer itself as a place of shelter and the characters are there to help players survive. Combat is deadly and stealth is important as players can customize their weaponry as they engage in human and mutant tactical combat.
Even with its hostility and dangers, Kepler itself is a beautiful world. Different areas let players see a little of everything as they struggle to survive their journey. A players space suit helps them survive the environment while helping other humans survive this terrifying world.
