Description

“Plunge into the expanse within, the infinite Nebula beneath your skin.”

Nebula Within is a contemplative yet challenging twin-stick shooter about finding inner peace through our ever-evolving and very human palette of insecurities and doubts. You can explore your emotions and search for self-acceptance alone or with up to 8 of your friends in the vibrantly geometric nebula of your consciousness.

The ebb and flow of waves in the Nebula Within are made up of a wide assortment of foes that personify the qualities of these struggles. Just as no two experiences are ever the same, no two journeys into the Nebula are ever identical.

History

I began developing Nebula Within during one of the lowest seasons of my life to try to make sense of my experiences. In more ways than I can count, I was both looking to extract meaning from my circumstances and reassure myself that things could get better. My best friend, Alaric Qin, helped me a lot during that difficult time. I would later ask him to compose the music, which ( lucky for me and you ) he accepted.

What began as a personal project has now grown into my first PC/Mac game release, both as an indie developer and under my own company, Strafe Studios - an independent game studio that loves you. This project grew organically over time and helped me enough to consider sharing it with the world. My hope is that someone out there finds tranquility or the motivation to continue persevering through playing this game. It isn't perfect, but then again, nothing ever is. It can get a little tough at times, but so can life.

Hang in there.
You're not alone.

Love,
Nick Oueijan
