About the Game

Nexus PI is a sci-fi detective noir game centering on Max, a private investigator with the ability to jump in between realities in her search for something within the multiverse that could prevent a climate catastrophe in her home reality. You must explore two drastically different realities to see what makes one a near utopia, and the other a complete dystopia, and in doing so have the power to doom or save whole realities. Nexus PI is a narrative driven environmental puzzle game that explores the two distinct realities the player finds themselves in. Players must investigate clues about what happened to the R&D lab they are exploring, as well as what potential technologies they can use to save their own reality.
