Survival Digital Tabletop Nemesis: Lockdown Developed by InterStudio and published by Awaken Realms is now available in its full version on Steam. The game was initially released in early access in May 2022, and now players can enjoy the complete package.

Check out the trailer below and info from the Steam page:

A digital adaptation of the award-winning board game series.

Nemesis: Lockdown is a cinematic, turn-based sci-fi horror experience based on the award-winning board game. This is the thrilling tabletop Nemesis experience gone digital, along with its dark atmosphere, adrenaline-filled moments and unforgiving RNG.
A base on Mars has been put on emergency lockdown due to an alien outbreak. You’re one of the few people left inside. Your goal is to fulfill a unique objective – which will put your survival skills to the test – and survive the lockdown by hiding or escaping the facility. You’ll do that by exploring the Intruder-infested corridors of the base in search of anything that might help you stay alive. Even then, your survival is all but guaranteed and sometimes your best efforts might not be enough. In Nemesis: Lockdown, you WILL die. And you’ll have a great time regardless.

The core of Nemesis: Lockdown is its turn-based card gameplay. Each action requires you to play cards from your hand and their smart management is crucial to success. But success in the game relies not just on you and your skills. Random events, requiring you to think on your feet, happen each round, making the sessions exciting, dramatic… and even tougher.

The game is a semi cooperative experience utilizing the hidden traitor mechanic. One of the players might secretly be working on sabotaging the mission. If you want to survive, you’ll have to expose them. If that player is you… well, you’d do anything to make it out alive, wouldn’t you?

One thing’s for certain – you’re going to be talking about your games long after the sessions are over.

Features:

Thrilling single and multiplayer experience
Regardless of whether you decide to go solo or team up with other players, you’re in for a unique sci-fi horror experience. Each session of the game is filled with exciting events and terrifying encounters that make it uniquely dramatic.

Gameplay designed to keep you on your toes
In Nemesis: Lockdown you don’t hunt aliens – you’re doing everything to outsmart them, fulfill your objective and get the hell out. And if you do that by betraying your allies along the way… well, nobody said sacrifices wouldn’t be necessary to survive.

Weapons in the game are more of a defense countermeasure than a reliable tool of alien extermination and the game’s systems make sure that exploring the base is not a walk in the park. You’re going to have your work cut out for you – that’s for sure.

Secret goals and hidden traitors
At the beginning of the game, you’re assigned a secret objective. It may sometimes require you to deceive and mislead your teammates, or get rid of them altogether. You’re going to have to tread a fine line of being a nuisance and not being exposed. So tread carefully – if they find out what you’re up to, you’ll be in even more trouble.

Based on the award-winning series of board games
Nemesis is one of the most successful board games titles of recent years. It was created as a tribute to classic sci-fi horror movies. Its main goal was to create a horror experience that would evoke a cinematic story with every game. A story that you and your friends would want to talk about even long after the session’s over.
