About the Game

Beyond Creation, there is Void.

And the Void is not to be known.

But for every warning sign, there is a person who only sees a challenge.

An androgynous person made of static with eight purple eyes and nebula hair and a blonde woman in armor smile at each other. The blonde woman is named Arthur, and there is text describing her as "Calm, kind, intellectual." The static person is named Nemesis and there is text describing her as "Dangerous, chaotic, selfish."

Meet Nemesis

Ascendent being, sister to Arthur, perpetually bored. A colorful glimmer at the edge of space -- the Void -- ensnares her interest, leading to a fixation on uncovering its secrets.

Whatever the cost.

Fully-painted sprites of five characters, 3D-rendered backgrounds, and multiple animations and illustrations await you in this mythic narrative tale of curiosity and consequences.

Forbidden: A First's Obsession is the debut Metacosm Chronicles game, with art and writing entirely by N Soleil and worldbuilding by A Soleil, set in their expansive science fantasy universe of the Metacosm. Approximately 4.2k words, one ending.

An androgynous person made of static with eight purple eyes and nebula hair looks at two dolls she holds in her hands; a yellow boy and a dark grey robot.
