Ex Nihilo, a Story-Rich JRPG Mystery, Out Now!

Ex Nihilo: From Nothing
A browser game made in HTML5

I had the idea for the story of Ex Nihilo back in February 2023 and after working on it in my free time for the last several months, it is ready to be released to the world! Besides a few pieces of art and music, everything is done by one person(me!). The default RPG Maker assets helped make this small project I did for fun much more achievable. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy! PS - Ex Nihilo takes place over 10 in-game days and is all about the story. I'm not going to spoil anything but let's just say there are more revelations the further in you go...


Summary from the game page:

Two figures find you unconscious in the forest. You don’t remember anything, but they know you and will help you in this time of need. However, things are definitely not as they seem.

Explore and investigate your surroundings for 10 in-game days as you try to remember…

Ex Nihilo aims to mess with your perception of things in subtle ways. While there is some combat, the real focus is on the mystery. See if you can figure out what’s going on before it’s too late!

~2 hours to complete. 2 alternate endings.
