Nico's Nextbots RPG

It was The Messenger. They are responsible for revealing all the information about Nico's Corporation. Nico's Corporation, the entity behind Nico's Mall, is accountable for the mall's shutdown and possibly the creation of these nextbots. According to The Messenger, this potentially malevolent company is described as 'greedy' and having 'wanted too much.' Next is a machine known as the B.R.I.D.G.E. This device, owned and created by Dr. Brooks, is somehow connected to safezones and plays a significant role in the occurrence of events. Third, we have two advertisements: Nico's Mall Advertisement and Nico's News Station. The Nico's Mall Advertisement initially showcases the mall, including its various stores and a 30% off coupon. However, it takes a disturbing turn, shifting to a red screen that features surveillance footage, where a Nextbot appears, causing the person in the footage to scream. The Nico's News Station advertisement features a Bloxy Cola commercial. At the bottom of the ad, there is a mention of an 'Interview w/ Dr. Brooks,' who is the owner and creator of the B.R.I.D.G.E. Fourth, we have two individuals with unknown names: Possible Teenage Investigator and The Woman. The Possible Teenage Investigator is a teenage boy who appears to work as an investigator, exploring the abandoned Nico's Mall. The Woman is a mysterious, entity-like figure. She is heard on a radio, discussing the B.R.I.D.G.E but not mentioning it directly. She also references butterflies, alluding to the butterfly effect, and speaks about breaking out of a cocoon, which metaphorically represents the mall itself. Fifth, we see a person at Benny's, who is possibly the owner, fixing his car. He then steps outside of Benny's and into the Factory. The scene cuts to the interior of the factory, where a table is briefly visible before the screen cuts to black with the text 'END OF FILE' appearing in the bottom right corner. Sixth, we have the Nico's News Station website, which features news from within the game's universe. One of the reports is about a boy named 'Steven Moreau,' who disappeared after entering his own house in Kellywood. Lastly, there is an audio recording featuring a siren (the same one used in Arcade), babel's proximity audio, the sound of a car door opening and closing, and some additional noises at the end. Nico's Corporation (sometimes stylized as nico's corporation in lowercase), or Nico Corporation, is a company. It is portrayed as the organization responsible for both the creation and the intentional shutdown of Nico's Mall, as well as the possible origin of the nextbots. The company's eventual decline or defunct status, may have contributed to the mall's closure, leaving its mysterious influence and unfinished business behind. The full extent of nico's corporation's motivations remains unclear, but its involvement suggests a deeper, possibly darker, role in the unfolding occurrences surrounding the mall and the nextbots. The Messenger describes nico's corporation as a greedy company and claims that it "wanted too much", implying that the company may be an evil or morally corrupt company.

nn_mall is one of the various maps in nico's nextbots. nn_mall seems to be a small, abandoned mall with many shops and larger stores in its interior. The area also has a lot of parking lots. The mall has two floors, which can be accessed from three different (broken) escalators located on each floor of the mall and the entrance to the bottom parking lot. There are also a lot of large spaces on the map, such as parking lots, the lounge, and Nathew's. The map holds a warehouse with loads of shelves, which are arranged almost like a maze. There's also an open garage area with containers and such, but it lacks a lot of light sources. nn_russia is a town situated in between nn_mall and nn_outpost, characterized by its nighttime setting and a variety of structures including buildings, apartments, a factory, shops, and garages. Often referred to as a “ghost town,” it is located in a typical grassy environment. The town is connected to both nn_mall and nn_outpost by a single, long stretch of road and to nn_tunnels via an entrance beneath the factory. While the numerous buildings can complicate navigation and evasion of nextbots, the open spaces provide ample opportunities for players to maneuver and outsmart them with ease. nn_outpost appears as a large Siberian airbase set at night, scattered with boxes and barrels of multiple sizes and nico's network shipping crates. The outpost seems to be surrounded by an inaccessible sparse forest, with the trees covered with snow. Speaking of snow, the sky is heavy with gray clouds, and light snow falls around the map. In the distance, large, gloomy mountains could be seen. Multiple semi-trucks seem to be broken down and are partially covered by snow. Brick and concrete buildings with radars on top are densely found in this map, but most are inaccessible, with their doors presumably being locked. In the arcade gamemode, arcade exclusive nextbots can spawn in the map alongside the nn_outpost nextbots. nn_port is an open-world map set in a somewhat lively yet solitary port environment, characterized by a slightly foggy night. The layout is designed as a square with a central body of water. This map features a typical port with cargo, trucks, cranes, and ships. Additionally, it includes an underground section accessible through warehouses. The underground area comprises pipes, trays, vents, and numerous boxes. nn_tunnels is a network of roads and tunnels connecting nn_mall, nn_russia, nn_port and nn_airport. There are small decorations scattered around the map, from missing person posters depicting the player and their friends to concrete barricades. Like nn_airport, nn_backrooms, nn_hotel, and nn_poolrooms, this map does not show up as a primary map in the menu. Like the name suggests, nn_airport is an airport terminal filled with rows of seats, boarding gates, and various shops. Near the boarding gates, there are square pillars with TVs displaying boarding information, some of which mention being cancelled due to errors and for B.R.I.D.G.E. having failed or are pre-boarding (though the gates are closed) and circular pillars that support the airport's ceiling. Each gate occassionally has a plane connected by the gate's boarding bridge which is closed and cannot be opened. In addition to these planes, there are two of which that exploded while taxiing, presumably from nextbots having murdered everyone. Next to the airplanes are many doors that were inaccessible along with yellow pillars. It also features red navigation lights, but it lacks the runway where it is supposed to land or a designated way to fly to different destinations.
