Zero Impact

Zero Impact tries to envelop the existential dread of being mediocre in a world full of excellence, where the thing you want to do the most has already been done better than you ever could, in the coat of a linear action adventure with cute angry critters and electronic music.

About the Game

Help x'Ar The Explorer, the lizard explorer find his place in the universe in this space adventure demolition derby! 

  • Wanna be an explorer wannabe in a hostile space?

  • Discover an ancient Jumpgate and find a way to reactivate it!

  • Enemies have unique weapons and combat patterns

  • 1 main quest

  • 3 optional side quests

  • 50 Meaningful, fulfilling conversations

  • 10 000 words of dialogue (out of which 81 is swearing)

When you're not busy fighting for your life, why not talk with several charming (and charmless) lizards inhabiting the Lekrad Orbital Platform and the nearby space to find out what they need and learn about your job, the sector, and yourself?

  • Gain experience through fighting and exploring

  • Skill tree with 8 upgrades, each with a unique cut-scene*

  • Repair your ship

Oh no! Are the enemies coming in greater numbers and stronger? Adapt! Upgrade your spaceship's speed, agility, and damage, and unlock unique abilities (like impact-assisted asteroid redirection).

*cut-scenes may be skipped but it'll make the lizard sad :c (unless you're in a hurry)

  • Fly around and scan objects to gain experience and information

  • Scan the sector to find Points of Interest

  • Scan the planet to map it and find anomalies

A small part of the entire universe is in your hands! Your ship is equipped with several scanners, which let you gain information about objects around you, as well as scan the sector to discover Points of Interest, which hold, well, interesting things.

Beware though! Sending out signals might attract some unwanted attention.

Wow, you made it all the way down here? Have a Pizzové! Eat it while it's hot.
