Our take on Kessler Effect

Rather than presenting a fixed film or a conventional adventure game, Kessler Effect places the viewer inside the cast and lets that role influence the plot and ending. Its structure combines cinematic presentation with viewer-directed decisions, making participation part of the narrative form.

What is Kessler Effect?

Kessler Effect presents a virtual-reality adventure movie in which the viewer interacts with the cast and may take the role of a main character.

Set in the middle of the third millennium, the story follows a garbage-collecting spaceship crew in a society where humans have colonized space and aliens live alongside them. The crew faces a mission connected to humanity’s survival and must decide whom to save and who will die. The viewer takes the role of AURORA, an autonomous military robot. Other characters include the ship’s captain, chief officer, and navigating engineer, while KB-12 appears as AURORA’s alter ego, offering tips and jokes during the movie.
