Nemesis: Lockdown

Nemesis: Lockdown is a turn-based sci-fi horror game set on a Mars base under emergency lockdown after an alien outbreak. You are one of the few people left inside. Explore corridors infested with Intruders, seek out things that could help you survive, and try to fulfil your secret objective while escaping or hiding from the outbreak.

Survive the lockdown

The game uses turn-based card gameplay: each action requires you to play cards from your hand, so managing them is crucial. Random events occur each round, forcing you to adapt. Weapons are defensive measures rather than reliable ways to exterminate aliens, and the base’s systems make exploration dangerous. You must outsmart the Intruders rather than hunt them, and survival is never guaranteed.

Secret objectives

At the start of a game, you receive a secret objective that may require you to deceive or mislead your teammates, or even get rid of them. The semi-cooperative game uses a hidden-traitor mechanic: one player may secretly sabotage the mission. You may need to expose that player to survive, or, if you are the traitor, avoid being discovered while pursuing your own objective.

Solo and multiplayer

You can play alone or with other players. Sessions feature events and encounters, with the game’s random elements shaping each attempt. Nemesis: Lockdown is based on the Nemesis board game series, created as a tribute to classic sci-fi horror films and designed to produce a cinematic story in each game.
