Nephelia Through the Clouds v083

Nephelia: Through the Clouds transports you to a world without solid ground, where floating colonies and endless skies are ruled by those bold enough to command an airship. Drawing inspiration from Sunless Seas, Highfleet and Space Rangers, this open-world simulator combines 3D dirigible navigation with a rich, non-linear text RPG. You’ll chart ever-shifting wind and weather patterns, gathering resources from procedural cloud formations while braving storms, thunder and mysterious sky-bound creatures.

Life in the clouds is never predictable. Personalize and upgrade your airship’s hull, weapons and engines to survive turbulent weather and raids by sky pirates or spider-like fauna. Recruit and manage a diverse crew, issuing orders in the heat of combat, assigning repairs or tending to wounded sailors. Trust and loyalty are won over long flights-and a misstep can leave you stranded in hostile skies.

When you touch down on one of Nephelia’s airborne platforms, the game shifts into text-based RPG mode. Navigate crowded bazaars, level up your skills, and roll dice to determine success in negotiations, heists or brawls. Your choices affect relationships with multiple factions, opening new quests or turning allies into enemies. Will you amass wealth and fame through cunning, brute force or diplomacy? Or will you unite the warring powers and carve out a lasting peace?
