NEXUS Inc. is a company developing an ultra-powerful AI which will be used to better the lives of people around the world. However, they have enemies. In this hidden role game, you play as either an employee, who works towards securing the company's legacy, NEXUS itself, who must guide the employees towards success, or a saboteur who is intent on taking down the company.

The NEXUS Project is a social deduction game for 5-10 players based on the board game The Resistance: Avalon.

The game consists of up to 5 projects. Each player will take turns selecting teams, consisting of a number of players to work on the project. If even one saboteur is on the team, the project could be doomed, so employees must select and vote carefully. The employees have NEXUS on their side though, who knows the identity of every saboteur. As NEXUS, you must lead your team to victory without exposing yourself.

The Company wins if 3 projects succeed, and the Saboteurs win if 3 projects fail. The Saboteurs will also win if they can correctly identify which player is NEXUS.

Made in 3 weeks for the Superglue Games Social Deduction Game Jam. The theme was office. The setting for the game took inspiration from the idea of this office/corporate work life. Additionally, the UI is themed after office computer UI and materials.

Instructions

To get started, have one player create a room by pressing Host Game. Other players can then join by entering the room code. This game relies on open conversation and discussion between players, so it is recommended that players are in a voice call with each other (e.g. using Discord). Unlike some games like Among Us, there is no periods of downtime, so there is no need to mute yourself during gameplay.

Please have all players read all of the instructions before playing. The instructions can be opened at any time in the game using the Help button in the top right corner.
