"Aurora Nexus" is a science fiction adventure video game developed in RPG Maker. The story follows a student who, after a failed experiment involving a solar storm, is teleported to a parallel world called Nexus. The player explores this new world, facing challenges and uncovering secrets about the connection between solar storms and dimensional portals.

The game uses classic RPG mechanics, where the player controls the main character to explore various areas of Nexus, solve environmental puzzles, interact with non-playable characters (NPCs), and combat enemies energized by solar storms. As the player progresses, they unlock special abilities related to controlling solar energy, which allow them to access new areas and overcome challenges. Additionally, the game features important decisions that influence the outcome of the story, offering multiple possible endings.

The game provides an immersive and educational experience by blending science fiction with real-world elements about the phenomenon of solar storms. Through the narrative, the player learns about the effects of solar storms on Earth, such as communication disruptions and blackouts. The interactive aspect of decision-making and exploration makes it appealing to both adventure game enthusiasts and those interested in scientific phenomena.

The main goal of "Aurora Nexus" is to create a game that not only entertains but also educates players about solar storms in a playful and immersive way. It aims to raise awareness of astronomical phenomena and how they can impact our daily lives, while offering a rich story filled with moral dilemmas and important decisions.
