Kether

Kether was developed by French studio Infogrames through its subsidiary International World Productions (IWP). Infogrames sought to provide early support to publisher Philips and its CD-i during the fourth generation of video game consoles due to advances brought on by the system's optical disc technology. Kether was one of seven projects from IWP, which was specifically established to contribute to a second wave of CD-i software for Philips.

Guy Selva, the game's artistic director and one of its writers, desired to create a space opera that would offer the player the opportunity to take advantage of the CD-i's audio and graphical capabilities. Production mirrored that of a feature film with a script written first and foremost and live actors included via full-motion video cutscenes. The 3D computer-generated imagery work was outsourced to Brussels-based Little Big One (LBO), which utilized Silicon Graphics workstations running TDI Explore and Paintbox software. Production was overseen by Infogrames chairman, CEO, and general director Bruno Bonnell.

Kether received mostly positive reviews. Next Generation reviewed the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "Challenging puzzles and a mystical atmosphere round out the title into a CD-i adventure that's a cut above many of its peers. Power Unlimited have a score of 92% summarizing: "If Philips had made more games of Kether's caliber, their CD-I might have become a serious gaming system. The game offers many (easy) puzzles, bundled with the most beautiful 16-bit graphics and sounds."
