In Nightmare

"In Nightmare was initially a good idea, but it should have stayed on paper. Instead, all the effort of developers is a soulless game that will entertain only a very narrow circle of undemanding players and children."

"In essence, In Nightmare is a narrative heavy puzzle game where all too often you must engage in more action heavy scenes in order to progress. That, coupled with frequent sections where you must navigate a room of either a …"

"In Nightmare is an experience that will leave players more frustrated than frightened. The story is decent enough, if predictable, but it quickly loses steam since you can guess what&s;ll happen and the pantomimed scenes are too vague. The gameplay …"

"Unless you have the patience of a saint, I would steer clear of In Nightmare. It really is a shame, as there’s an interesting story being told from Bill’s eyes and a really vibrant and vivid world with a unique …"

"In Nightmare is the embodiment of a good story dragged down in a pit of really bad gameplay ideas."

"If I&s;m being honest, I was glad it ate my save file and gave me a legit reason not to play it anymore."

"In Nightmare is a frustrating and dull horror experience that can&s;t live up to the many ideas it tries to set up. This left me not only bored, but disappointed in what it could have been."

"In Nightmare may provide a decent plot line with enjoyable, heartfelt moments, but outside of that, it really is a hard game to recommend to anyone. The technical issues alone are enough to say wait until an update comes out …"

"A quaint art direction and an occasional well-conceived puzzle are not enough to redeem this painful slog through a child&s;s living nightmare. Trial-and-error instakill sections and some of the worst hide and seek stealth since Sanity of Morris ensure the …"

"Yes, it&s;s functional and has some decent concepts, however the experience simply can&s;t avoid comparisons with boring indie horror titles. Even its small gameplay nuances wind up detracting from engagement in multifaceted ways."

"The worst kind of bad game isn’t the one that is a total and complete train wreck. In Nightmare is the worst kind of bad game. It’s just absolutely uninteresting. Not good enough to be worth tackling, not bad enough …"

"Overall, In Nightmare hits the mark. It fits its self-defined genre, and was an otherwise decent game. Its overabundance of mechanics and reliance on standard horror game features hold the title back from being more unique than it could be. …"

"In Nightmare could have been great, but the atmosphere and environments aren&s;t enough to make up for the woeful frame rate, frustrating enemy encounters, and overall tedium of the gameplay."

"In Nightmare is a pale competitor to other titles of the horror-adventure genre. Stealth that’s preferable to charge through, puzzles that are the blandest of time-wasters and a narrative of dark themes burdened with typos and poor delivery. Real nightmares …"

"So overall, In Nightmare does a lot of things right and never overcomplicates its mechanics while helping Billy escape this world of nightmares. On the other hand, the puzzles are often simply too complicated and when combined with chapters that …"

"Despite the confusing narrative, In Nightmare is still fun. The puzzles are varied and delightful to work through. And while not the scariest game I’ve played, there’s plenty of anxiety to be had sneaking around enemies and solving puzzles under …"

"I was pleasantly surprised at In Nightmare, as I said horror is not usually my thing but the subject matter here and the way it’s handled is quite masterful. I mean the whole game is extremely relatable as Bill discovers …"

"The overall idea of In Nightmare is solid. The trapped-in-a-child’s-nightmare vibe and slow unveiling of his past traumas feel fresh. But the final delivery in a game was just ‘meh’ and there are better puzzlers out there. A more polished …"
