DNA Nemesis

DNA Nemesis is a raid-based game set in the Fabovero crater. You choose an animal character with a unique ability, then adapt your approach to the terrain, your equipment and the changing conditions inside each building.

Animal abilities

The game features 10 animal species, each with an ability linked to the character’s appearance. Abilities are not lethal on their own, but using them at the right moment can turn an encounter. Ambushes, pursuits, escapes and counterattacks emerge from play rather than following scripted sequences.

Weight and weapons

Weapons, attachments, bullets, healing items and other objects each have a weight based on their real-world equivalent. A weapon affects your load differently when held in your hands than when carried on your back, and your inventory shows how each item contributes to your total weight and movement speed. Carrying two weapons gives you more options, but the extra equipment can slow you down.

Attachments also add weight. Each one slightly increases the time it takes to aim and raise your weapon’s sights to eye level; even a difference of a fraction of a second can decide the outcome of an encounter.

Changing raids

Raids begin with different building conditions: doors may be open or closed, windows intact or broken, and bodies scattered in different places. You cannot know what you will find when you enter a building.

Bodies can hold equipment left behind from the previous raid, including weapons that may have attachments and ammunition in the magazine, armour vests with varying levels of damage, and backpacks that may still contain resources.

The Fabovero crater

Fabovero contains multiple biomes and varied landscapes, each offering different combat possibilities. You can adapt your strategy to the terrain by taking the high ground, moving stealthily, setting an ambush or seeking cover under enemy fire.
