Nemesis

Nemesis plunges players into a claustrophobic sci-fi nightmare aboard a derelict spaceship infested with alien creatures. Each session drips with paranoia as players balance personal secret objectives against group survival, never quite sure who to trust. The gameplay creates mounting dread through noise mechanics that attract lurking intruders, malfunctioning systems requiring desperate repairs, and combat encounters that feel genuinely dangerous. Every decision carries weight—fire your weapon and risk drawing more aliens, or stay silent and hope others handle the threat? The asymmetric objectives mean apparent allies might be saboteurs, fostering delicious suspicion. Combat uses dice but feels tactical rather than random, with positioning and equipment mattering immensely. Time pressure from the self-destruct sequence and limited actions per turn create agonizing choices. Players emerge exhausted but exhilarated, having survived (or failed to survive) a tense, cinematic experience that captures the essence of Alien-inspired horror through brilliant mechanical design.
