What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“It's simple, we need to hear your feedback! Shadow of Nebula is still in heavy development but we've already finished working on the first big part of it. The current version of the initial chapter of the story is in a state we believe is ready for you to play through. Even though we're still working on loads of new content that will be available soon within the upcoming update, it's important to us to gather your opinions and improve the title even more. All in all we've decided to go with Early Access to be able to provide the best possible gaming experience!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We're currently planning on releasing the game by the end of 2016. It's a quite big project however so even if we're bound to move the date because of the changes needed to be applied it won't be any further than the beginning of 2017.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The final version of Shadow of Nebula will have much longer and more in-depth story than what it does in its current state. The player will meet many more characters and there will be plenty of variety added to the game including a whole underwater world area or even an old abandoned space station. Since the story's influenced heavily by cyberpunk culture and sci-fi you can expect it to affect the main protagonist and settings present within the game alike. We'd like you to treat Early Access version of our game as a pilot to a series of incredible and fulfilling adventures present in the final product.

Naturally, the game will also feature more original music tracks, cinematic and most of all Steam achievements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“On average completing the available Early Access part of the game will require approximately between 4 and 5 hours of game play. All the time and work put in the game lead us to believe that the current content is rock-solid and the game itself is practically bug free. The complete title will obviously take much longer to complete.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price of the game after final release will be higher than during Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We're currently looking for all kinds of feedback, be it by e-mail or through our Shadow of Nebula forums. We're gamers ourselves and we're trying to make a game for people like us so we're taking all ideas and suggestions under consideration - big and small. Together we can make the best adventure game!”

Story


The Year is 3102. After the centuries of progress and technological advancements humanity has reached for the stars and spread through out the entire known galaxy. The Galactic Government - political organization overlooking the humanity - found such a large and wide spread population difficult to control. They wanted a better way, a better system to influence and control people more directly...

In the same time in the furthest corners of the Milky Way a scientific expedition was lost on its way home. They found something odd and unusual but most importantly unexpected. Something that was not made by humans - a technology out of our known World. It was a root-shaped organic behemoth of an alien ship. Aliens who no doubt lived on it before were long dead or gone. The ship hanged in space waiting for its moment in time. The moment that was about to come...

One man however managed to decipher a large part of the technology left behind by aliens, the genius Alfred Nebula. The advancements gained from it allowed him to develop specialized nanobots that not only knew the human body perfectly and could heal all know diseases but could also affect its mood and thoughts. After realizing how powerful and dangerous his inventions were, Alfred scrapped the results of his studies and all the prototypes of nanobots along with it. Unfortunately, he did not destroy everything...

Since then thirty years have passed... And the turning point in the history of humanity is closer than ever! Our hero, a stalwart Space Courier, luckily managed to fight off murderous space pirates and emergency land on seemingly abandoned planet - Ventra Blue. Even though initially he only planed on repairing his ship and leaving as soon as it would be possible, he found himself involved with what he discovered on Ventra Blue and realized that he's one of the main and most important puzzles in the galactic events that were about to unravel and change the future of the whole human race. Against all odds he took upon himself to solve the vast intrigue and along the way he has changed as well...
