About

Ex Nihil0

Features
Read full description

In the middle of nowhere sits a computer, placed on a table, plugged into the ground. A human approaches it to ask a question, which you'll have to answer. From that moment on, it all begins. New humans arrive, each one of them being influenced by your decisions. Every question these humans ask will impact their behavior, their way of thinking, and their environment. Observe them closely, because each of their actions could either help you, or harm you.
