Echoes of Nox - Open Alpha

Open Alpha Notice: This version of the game is incomplete, and progress is still being made toward the end goals of the project. While this version is free, it does not encompass the final game. Upon release on steam, Echoes of Nox - Open Alpha will no longer be updated, and purchase on steam will be required. Echoes of Nox The moon of Nox sat lifeless for decades. Amidst a failing space station, three rogue AIs are locked into an eternal stalemate battling for ever-waning resources. You wake up with no recollection of your past life, only questions. Take back territory from the robots as you explore the station. Find new tools and equipment that unlocks new paths and methods of traversal. Uncover lore and find out what happened to Nox, the true purpose of the station, and your place in the chaos. CONTROL territory and reclaim the station The faction system is a central mechanic to Echoes of Nox. Each room is able to be controlled by an enemy “faction,” the player included. As you fight through the wings of the run-down station, the territory you control influences secrets hidden within rooms, and weakens the eventual AI Mainframes that you encounter. FIGHT OFF rogue AI There are four bespoke weapons the player can unlock in Echoes of Nox, and use against the malfunctioning enemies on station. Each enemy has a “spark window,” where all incoming damage is doubled, and should an elemental effect be applied to an enemy in this window, certain effects occur. The elemental system encourages the player to interact with enemies in different ways, and promotes creativity with how you approach certain situations. The elements include Ice, Fire, and Electric, and interact with each other in various different manners. DISCOVER new tools and equipment Unlock new weapons and methods of traversal as you progress in the game. Every corner of the station has something different for the player to discover and help them on their journey through the derelict station. Each weapon the player unlocks allows for them to access new areas and shortcuts, continually recontextualizing the map as the game progresses. UNCOVER the Echoes of Nox Not all is as it seems on Nox. Echoes of a distant past litter the deserted passageways of the station: logs scattered from old researchers and civilians, ruminations from AI Mainframes, and a terrible secret that underlies the fate of the station and humanity at large.
