Closing his heart to reality, our protagonist falls into a deep slumber and awakens in a nightmarish dreamworld. In Nightmare is a narrative-driven horror adventure game combining sneak action with diverse puzzles. It follows a young boy in search for the last hope of love who is working out his own salvation by navigating through his fear.

Experiencing effects of a broken family, and the heartache it brings, a young child will escape reality into a dark, whimsical world created from his own memories. This sets him on his journey to uncover what truly lies within. Having suffered in reality, his past trauma turns into terrifying monsters that want to keep him in an eternal nightmare. With the help of his dream spirit, the boy will find ways to sneak past enemies, overcome intricate puzzles, embrace his fear, and uncover the truth so that he may be able to purify the monsters he has created, and finally wake up.

To prevail, players will need to solve intricate puzzles and hide from the ghouls that seek to tear him down, bit by bit.

Will the protagonist, defenseless against this terror, lock himself away forever, or will he cling on to his last hope of love as he drifts into the darkness? Will you overcome what you fear or be caught in the nightmare?

Today’s announcement was accompanied by a trailer that showcases a young boy who has closed himself off from all of the pain of the outside world, and has fallen into a deep, nightmare-filled slumber. Armed with his wits and his only light in the darkness, his dream spirit, he must escape and evade the monsters that await him at every turn.

In Nightmare is coming to PS4 in 2021 for $19.99.
