Nominal: A Retro Spacecraft Puzzle

Nominal plunges you into the tense cockpit of the Odyssey, a meticulously crafted spacecraft from an alternate 1960s. This light-sim puzzle game challenges you to survive the unforgiving depths of space, battling system failures and environmental hazards. Play solo for a truly immersive experience, or team up with friends in asymmetric multiplayer, where communication and quick thinking are key.

When the inevitable malfunction occurs, your only lifeline is the Odyssey's Ship Operator's Manual. Delve into detailed schematics, understand the intricate wiring of each system, and learn to troubleshoot any problem. Can you and your friends, acting as Mission Control, overcome engineering puzzles and Murphy's Law to save the mission and your life? Nominal is a unique blend of space survival, simulation game elements, and intense problem-solving.

Key Features

Experience a challenging and rewarding engineering-based puzzle game as you pilot the Odyssey solo! Alternatively, embrace the chaos of asymmetric cooperative gameplay. Task your friends or family with deciphering the Ship Operator's Manual while you navigate the spacecraft's failing systems. The designers recommend walkie-talkies and even hardcopy printouts for maximum immersion and communication.

Every component of the Odyssey has been meticulously simulated, from paper blueprints to in-game functionality. Each switch, dial, and button is part of a fully-simulated electrical system within a larger network of interconnected core and sub-systems. Prepare for realistic simulation challenges!

True to the Apollo era, the Odyssey Spacecraft Operator's Manual is available online and in PDF format, allowing you to load it on a second monitor, the Steam Overlay, or any mobile device. The manual provides detailed diagrams, pre-launch procedures, hazard warnings, emergency protocols, and a touch of 60s-era humor.

Face over ten unique and unpredictable systems failures, each requiring its own specialized set of emergency procedures to resolve. You'll encounter over ten unique possible systems failures to overcome. Each failure has its own unique, detailed set of Emergency Procedures available to fix it.

Survival in space is not just about fixing broken systems. Monitor critical environmental factors like oxygen levels, carbon dioxide levels, and cabin temperature. Manage your fuel reserves wisely ensuring you have enough to make it home. Consider all these elements when troubleshooting any specific failure. This space survival game demands complete awareness!

With over 10 unique systems failures, six environmental factors, and 27 'Modifiers' (settings to increase challenge), there are countless ways to meet your demise in the vastness of space. This variability extends to multiplayer puzzle game scenarios, creating endless surprises.
