About the game

What is Nebula?

It is said that for every person who has inhabited the Earth, there is more than one shining star in the universe... In Nebula you will have to collect stars to position them in your galaxy. Stars come in various stages, from red giants to white dwarfs, which you can get from star clusters. You can get stars by investing Time or going to Chaos. Then you must position them in some orbit and constellation respecting the law of gravity. Finally, there will be objectives, both personal and shared, that can reward you, and also some stars without glow that will remind us that death is part of stellar life. Give life to your Galaxy and find harmony within your constellations. The stories that will be invented while you watch them will last over time... —description from the publisher (translated) Se dice que por cada persona que ha habitado la Tierra, hay más de una estrella que brilla en el universo... En Nebula deberás recolectar estrellas para posicionarlas en tu galaxia. Las estrellas se presentan en diversas etapas, desde gigantes rojas hasta enanas blancas, las cuales podrás conseguir desde los cúmulos estelares. Podrás obtener estrellas invirtiendo Tiempo o acudiendo al Caos. Luego deberás posicionarlas en alguna orbita y constelación respetando la ley de gravedad. Finalmente, habrán objetivos, tanto personales como compartidos, que podrán recompensarte, y también algunas estrellas sin resplandor que nos harán recordar que la muerte es parte de la vida estelar. Dale vida a tu Galaxia y encuentra la armonía dentro de tus constelaciones. Las historias que se inventarán mientras las observas perdurarán en el tiempo... —description from the publisher
