SideQuest: Nemesis Mixes Together Puzzle Solving & Sci-Fi Horror

June 28, 2023 by brennon

Board & Dice are working with Lockme to bring some new puzzle-solving "escape games" to the tabletop. One of their new games is based on the highly successful Nemesis series from Awaken Realms. See what you make of this new SideQuest addition!

Here's the background behind this particular game which sounds like it brings to the tabletop some familiar Sci-Fi Horror trappings...

"Captain Jessica Kowalski's crew has been offered another offer from the Corporation. Apparently, a ship carrying a precious load vanished a few weeks ago. The mission was simple: locate the ship, assess the situation and make sure the cargo reaches Earth. However, the last log entry was rather unsettling. She recorded: the AI of the ship detected alien lifeforms, labelled Intruders, aboard. Silence is scarier than usual…"

Using the mechanics of the Escape Tales series, SideQuest: Nemesis brings puzzles and enigmas to the tabletop for you to solve. You'll have to solve puzzles and make difficult choices whilst under pressure as something is hunting you. This seems like a great way for one-to-four players to test their creativity and work out if they're good crewmates or terrible as a team!

As the background mentions, the silence is deafening and there is something sneaking around in the darkness. You'll also want to try and avoid being contaminated and bringing the terrible alien back with you!

A fun puzzle in a box that should be fun for those who love the Nemesis world!
