Overview

About this game

Set within an isolated research facility on a distant planet, you play as Bill, a security officer with a unique burden: stuck in a time loop, forced to solve a case that keeps getting you killed.

As the days reset endlessly, you must unravel the truth hidden in the shadows of the facility. Interact with crew members, gather vital clues, and stay one step ahead to expose the alien among you. Can you convince ORACLE, the facility's AI, of the imposter's identity before it’s too late? Or will you be caught in an endless cycle of wrongful accusations?

Nugatory is a focused, short-form narrative experience where every choice you make impacts your fate. Featuring a fully voiced cast and multiple endings, dive into this atmospheric blend of horror, science fiction, and mystery, where your only friend is you.
