Side Quest: Nemesis is a tense, cooperative board game with escape room elements, set in a chilling sci-fi world of cosmic horror. It’s a standalone game based on the popular space thriller Nemesis by Awaken Realms, but no prior knowledge of the original game is required.

In the game, you take on the role of crew members hired by a corporation to investigate a mysteriously abandoned spaceship and recover its valuable cargo. However, upon arrival, you discover that something is terribly wrong—the ship’s AI has detected the presence of alien intruders. These creatures lurk in the shadows, and the silence grows ever more ominous...

The game is fully cooperative. Players explore the ship, solve logical puzzles, and encounter event cards that influence the unfolding story. Each room contains mini-challenges and larger puzzle rooms that must be solved to progress. The gameplay features non-linear exploration, multiple possible endings, and an infection status that can alter the outcome. There’s no timer or app involved—everything is handled through physical components, enhancing the tactile experience.

The game masterfully blends the tension of a sci-fi horror story with exploration and high-stakes decision-making.

🛸 If you enjoy gripping narratives, clever puzzles, and the eerie feeling that something is watching you from the shadows—Side Quest: Nemesis is the perfect choice.
