Welcome to my new page! I wanted to share with you the plans and vision for a game that I'm working on. Keep in mind, I'm in the early stages, so expect things to evolve. The game, named NexOS, is a narrative-driven journey through mystery and investigation.

Setting

Imagine stumbling upon a nearly new laptop at a car boot sale in the UK, yours for just £30. You hand over the money and continue browsing. Later, you notice the seller is already packing up their stall. At home, when you power up the laptop, you're greeted by an unfamiliar operating system. Before you can explore, a message from someone named Liam pops up, drawing you into a conversation through an unfamiliar messaging app. And so, your adventure begins.

The Game

NexOS unfolds as you dig deeper into the laptop's secrets. Some clues are out in the open, waiting to be read. Others require you to connect the dots, reach out to characters, or sift through emails for hidden information. How you interact with the characters influences your journey. Building a rapport with someone may unlock crucial information, while pushing others too far might close doors permanently.

Vision

I'm designing NexOS with a belief that every action (or inaction) shapes the narrative. Building relationships is as critical as making an enemy. The game emphasizes progression through investigation and storytelling rather than through arbitrary tasks. Expect multiple outcomes and endings, guided by the choices you've made. While reading will be a big part of the experience, I'm also integrating audio and video elements to enrich both the investigation and interaction aspects.

I hope this sounds compelling enough for you to stick around, I'm excited with how things are going and whilst there's a long journey ahead hopefully it results in something you'll enjoy.

I'm planning on doing fairly frequent updates here on Itch, so keep your eyes peeled.
