Our take on Nemesis: Distress
Its focus on stealth, sound, and uneasy cooperation leaves little room for a conventional shooter arsenal. Players trade direct gunfight variety for tools and tactics that support distraction, sneaking, and mistrust among the crew.
What is Nemesis: Distress?
Nemesis: Distress is a multiplayer science-fiction horror game set aboard a ship.
Players try to survive and complete a main mission plus a secret objective, while other crew members may pursue goals that involve sabotage. Cooperation is limited: survival requires working with teammates, but some cannot be fully trusted. Movement and sound matter because the alien enemies are blind and react to noise. Players can throw items to distract enemies or use a flamethrower to scare them away. Instead of centering on gunfights, the game provides tools such as a noise detector and hacking device, along with a pipe. Several enemy types appear, including an Adult that can kill a player in one hit.
