Nobody Nowhere

Overall I really enjoyed this game, I found the themes moving and thought provoking. That being said however, it feels like you're rushed. there is time to establish yourself in the world, but the story is moving at a million miles an hour and you always feel just a little lost or behind. This could be a narrative choice and I can appreciate how it would enhance the feeling of being in Julian's shoes but it does make for a worse experience. This game would benefit from about 2 more hours of runtime with this same story. And technically it runs poorly, some of my issues may be from proton compatibility, however, others have reported it as well. The choppiness distracts from and ruins the beautiful artstyle of this game, and it makes completing the quick time events basically chance. I love the story and I think more people should see it even with its flaws, and I hope to see more from this developer in the future.

A gorgeous, gorgeous game! It's pretty much 98% story and 2% minigames (which are pretty forgiving). Overall it's just...art, in both a visual and a storytelling way. It's a fairly classic sci-fi storyline, delivered in a short but heart-wrenchingly sweet way. There's also a dry sense of humor breaking the tension here and there that I really enjoyed. There are some typos scattered throughout, as I saw others mentioning, but not in any way that makes it too difficult to understand what the characters are saying.

This was bleak but really good. It's close to the type of game I'd make if I were to make my dream game.

Nobody Nowhere is a compact yet evocative narrative-driven adventure that blends side-scrolling exploration, atmospheric pixel art, and a tightly scripted sci-fi mystery into a cohesive whole. Developed by 深渊标记 Tag:hadal and co-published with 攻壳游戏 Gamker Studio, the game plays out like a self-contained interactive novella. It invites you into a dystopian future where synthetic life—Replicants—exists alongside humans, yet their place in society is fraught with secrecy and ethical controversy. The story opens with your awakening as one such Replicant inside a compromised laboratory, immediately setting the tone for a journey centered not on combat or reflexes, but on identity, memory, and the unsettling gap between what you are told and what you uncover. Gameplay unfolds through a hybrid of visual-novel style storytelling and straightforward 2D environmental navigation. You explore corridors, laboratories, and digital realms, interacting with terminals and characters while piecing together the circumstances of your creation and the powerful groups invested in your fate. The inclusion of short hacking sequences and interactive mini-games breaks up the narrative rhythm without overwhe…

Wonderful, emotional game with pretty artstyle and really amazing animations. It's short, around 3 hours of playtime, but it is so worth it - you can see how much effort went into it by looking at the visuals alone. Really enjoyed my time playing it!

Sci-fi side-scrolling visual novel with light action-adventure elements; compellingly written and presented.
