🔹 About Game

PRE-NEXUS TRIALS is an experimental online pvp survival game built to test chaos, mechanics, and player instinct.

You and up to 20 players are dropped into a confined environment, with no teams and only a single objective, survive. You begin with a single weapon and a handful of ammo. From there, it's up to you to scavenge, adapt, and outlast everyone else.

This isn't your typical run-and-gun shooter. It's minimal UI, heavy survival, and decision-making under pressure.

This game serves as a testing ground for core mechanics featured in a future, larger-scale narrative project in the ALONE series. Feedback from this build helps determine which systems and ideas will move forward in that project. That said, Pre-Nexus Trials may grow independently; it really depends on us.

The game is fully playable and has its standalone setup, but it is still in development. Expect rough edges, minimal UI, and gameplay that lean more toward experimentation and survival than traditional progression.

This release is focused on community engagement, gathering feedback, and seeing how players respond to mechanics in a live setting.

🕹️ How to Play

• Multiplayer only – Find a game and jump in. The dedicated server is already live.

• Chaos Mode – An endless Free-for-all deathmatch where survival is the only rule. No rounds. No reset.

• Inventory System – Inspired by classic survival horror games like Resident Evil. Open your inventory, manage your gear, choose wisely.

• No HUD – Health isn’t shown. Instead, visual feedback (like screen blur) lets you know you're close to death.

• Healing is essential – Blur intensifies as you bleed out. Want to see clearly again? You'll need to heal.

• Item pickups – Shield cubes, Ammo, and health are scattered across the map. You're not guided to them—you discover them.

• Learn by playing – There’s no tutorial. No hand-holding. Observation is your best weapon.
