About Artificial Nexus
“Where...am I? And...who am I?”
Those are the words that Susan asks herself when she’s woken up in a strange, high-tech coffin-like device in an otherwise empty room. Beyond her name she has no memory of her past. A voice over the intercom, Hank, tells her that she’s in a facility owned by a tech company, but she’s never heard of it.
Susan must leave the building to find out who she is, but things get more complicated when she discovers that the facility is under attack. She will have to use all of her wits and luck to get out of the building, but even if she can do that, will she uncover the mysteries of her past?
------
Artificial Nexus is a sci-fi mystery investigation game, which plays as a visual novel/point-and-click hybrid. In order to escape from the building and learn about Susan's past, you'll need to move around to multiple locations, find hidden codes, race against time, and control computers, all while avoiding the enemies who have attacked the building. If you're cunning enough you may even be able to discover some of the secret unlockables...

✦ AI summary
Players praise this mystery visual novel for its engaging story, charming voice acting, and thoughtful puzzles that feel rewarding to solve, with good environmental storytelling that rewards careful attention. However, some criticize the repetitive minigames, the heavy reliance on reading and retaining information from dialogue, and note that the final puzzle can be obtuse; a few players also mention technical issues and suggest the game's unconventional structure works better for established developers.
This game is so fun! The puzzles really get you thinking, which just makes finding the solution even more rewarding! I love this game dev and will definitely be on the lookout for the next game!1 found this helpful
The repeated minigame isn't really the best; and the game REALLY wants you to commit to reading all of the text within the game to figure things out. Overall had a positive experience, but I think the type of game made here is what you'd get away with if you were more known for making this type of game with alternate endings. I did mess up my save file with a bug that's since been patched, so I wasn't able to technically finish the game myself
I was initially expecting a fairly short VN with a few simple puzzles. Instead I received a pretty solidly long game with dialogue that had bits of information, humour, and shennanigans. Lots of lore and tidbits scattered rewarding looking around and paying attention, even though there is an auto-note system for many bits of information once you discover them. You still need to actually figure out how to use the information in the various puzzles you run into. The VA's do a great job and its nice that major story elements are fully voiced, while intermediary bits have a bit of... tone snippet? which gives a good idea of how the person might be saying the statement which is nice. I believe there's a better ending, but also a worse ending than the one I ended up achieving. And I'm keeping my notes because there are still things I haven't found and I gotta spin back up to figure out where they can be used to see what the best ending might entail. The only issues I can think of are wishing I could make notes while viewing the current screen and there is a few too many "dont you know / no, Amnesia remember?" during dialogue bits. But these are such minor complaints compared to the a…
I had fun with this game. I was given a key to play for the game's anniversary. It's genuinely a fun little visual novel with charming voice acting, and some pretty decent puzzles. The final one is *very* obtuse, but if you have the determination, you can figure it out with no outside help. Highly recommend. Worth the price.
Very engaging fun mystery!! Felt like I've only just scratched the surface, definitely worth a purchase if you're a fan of this genre.
Fantastic Game. Deep puzzles, engaging story, fantastic characters.
