Civitas Nihilium

Voted Second Place in the ten BEST GAMES of last year by The Dungeon Dive

A Deck-Building, Dice Rolling, Solo Player, Tabletop Game, Set Within a Cyberpunk Universe

Civitas Nihilium is an official crime-free utopia. The city boasts witness protection and an advanced police force that has access to the latest and greatest of transhuman upgrades.

Called the impossible job due to the pressures raining down from the patriarch of the marketplace idea itself, being a detective in a city with “no-crime” is a very difficult job. For many years you have come across roadblock after roadblock as you tried to bring the secret criminals of your beloved Civitas to justice. Sensitive pressures, cause for an almost Civitas wide blackout on the investigations you lead.

You are potentially one of the last few torchbearers of justice and law in Nihilium and these last few days of your career will be vital in how you leave your mark with those taking over after you.

Now is the moment to leave behind your legacy.

Civitas Nihilium is a future city, cyberpunk, deck building, dice rolling, solo-player tabletop game, that comes with its own unique pixel art and immersive soundtrack – set within The Civitas Universe.

You play a veteran detective working the dangerous streets of Civitas Nihilium, taking with you your choice of rookie and a ton of cybernetic upgrades. This cyberpunk universe is powered by Ion; the city and all of the advanced technologies within gleam of it. From the GleeHead gangs that use the illegal personalised diffusion techniques to get whacked-out, to the cultists of the underground elite who use the power to contact their god trapped between their dimension and ours. 

As a detective, you are operating within a corporate justice system that plays down criminal activity. You find yourself torn between your love for Civitas Nihilium and the bureaucracy of a greedy corporate government.

The goal of The Civitas Universe game series is to create several interactive experiences that run on a connected linear storyline. Where the actions, successes and loss throughout all of the games shape the world the player creates within their own sandbox.
