Project Kenon

What is Project Kenon?

You are a stranded astronaut cut off from your ship, drifting through a field of asteroids and wreckage in a Scrap System. With gravity pulling you toward destruction, you must use precision, momentum, and sheer willpower to survive.

Kenon is a first-person space traversal game built around control, tension, and motion. Every movement matters — too much force and you spin out of control. Stay still too long, and your sanity begins to break. 

Gameplay Loop

• Grapple and boost between asteroids and wrecks

• Manage oxygen, Suit health, and sanity

• Scavenge derelicts for supplies and upgrades

• Avoid debris, anomalies, and collapsing ships

Current State

Kenon is in prototype and early testing. The team is focused on refining the core movement, sanity, and feedback systems before expanding into larger environments.

Design Pillars

• Precision and Tension: Survival through control and timing

• Motion Keeps You Sane: Stillness is death; movement is focus

• Diegetic Immersion: Audio and HUD distort with sanity

• Weight and Momentum: Every push has consequence

Audio & Sound

Breathing, thrusters, and heartbeats form the soundscape. Music and distortion respond dynamically to sanity and movement, emphasizing isolation and tension.
