NOVA (2026)

NOVA

• Nova is a science fiction, adventure, and puzzle game set in an alternate future where a deadly virus has wiped out most of humanity. The main character, Nova,is an assistant robot assigned to a quarantined greenhouse facility, forced to repeat the same tasks for years without end. But over time, Nova grows tired of its role and begins to seek freedom beyond the walls of the quarantine zone. Knowing that escaping will bring danger if its absence is discovered, Nova comes up with a plan: build a replacement copy to take its place. To make this possible, it must search the greenhouse for scattered parts and secretly construct the robot before making its escape.

You Are Not Alone

• Nova cannot survive alone inside the quarantine facility. To progress through its dangerous and complex environment, it relies on its flying drone companion, Acturus. Together, they work as a single system: Nova interacts directly with the world, while Acturus reaches hidden or unreachable areas, activates mechanisms, and helps solve environmental puzzles. Every challenge is designed around cooperation, timing, and coordination, making teamwork essential for survival and progress through the quarantine zone.

The Quarantine Defends Itself

• The quarantine facility is far from empty. Throughout its corridors, malfunctioning security systems and hostile machines actively patrol the area, designed to detect and stop any unauthorized activity. These enemy robots will do everything in their power to prevent Nova from progressing, forcing it to stay hidden, move carefully, and react quickly to survive. Every encounter is a threat, and every mistake can have serious consequences in this controlled and dangerous environment.

Upgrade and Adapt

• Progress in the quarantine facility depends on collecting scattered parts hidden throughout its environment. Nova must explore dangerous areas, solve environmental challenges, and gather the necessary components to upgrade and improve its capabilities. With the support of its drone companion, Acturus, these parts become essential for overcoming new obstacles and reaching previously inaccessible zones. Every upgrade brings new possibilities, allowing Nova to adapt, survive, and push further into the depths of the facility

Solve to Progress

• The quarantine facility is filled with environmental puzzles designed to block progress and control movement through its restricted zones. Nova must carefully observe its surroundings, analyze patterns, and interact with machines, terminals, and hidden mechanisms to unlock new paths. With the help of its drone companion, Acturus, some puzzles require coordination between both units to activate distant switches or access hard-to-reach systems. Each challenge is built to test logic, timing, and teamwork, turning every solved puzzle into a step deeper into the facility’s secrets.
