Prepare for a gripping narrative experience in Ex Nihilo, a non-linear, sci-fi adventure game developed and published by Games By Martians. You awaken in a mysterious pod, taken by unknown captors and hurtling towards an unknown destination.

With only ten days to escape before reaching your final stop, players must navigate an interconnected world filled with cosmic horror elements.

Overview

Ex Nihilo thrusts players into a desperate race against time. Waking up in a pod with no memory of how they got there, the protagonist has a mere ten days to find a way out before their journey's end. The world is a labyrinth of interconnected environments, and straying too far from the safety of the pod can attract the attention of strange, unsettling beings. Stealth and careful exploration are key to survival, as detection means instant death. The game features a unique mechanic where time progresses with each awakening, pushing players further from their starting point and closer to their unknown fate.
