About
A Very Merry Nightmare is a 3D First-Person game made in Unreal Engine. The story follows a young boy named Oliver on Christmas Eve who follows a mysterious doll to another world full of Christmas decorations, however, things are not as wonderful as they seem. Oliver must then figure out how to make it back home before it is too late.
Some features include an AI enemy that can both watch the player from a distance and chase the player when prompted. An interact system with objects like drawers, cabinets, and doors. Players can also eat the various sweets in the world and find hidden notes left throughout the environment.
This game was my Senior Project for my major and was made in 16 weeks. It was also my first project in Unreal Engine. I was the sole creator of the game handling everything but the sound (sourced from Splice) and the 3D modeling (sourced from Unreal Engine Marketplace).
I am open to feedback and will have a place for submissions of any issues you might have. I will be taking all feedback into account and am open to adding more to the game in the future. I truly hope you all enjoy this game and I look forward to your feedback!

I was very impressed with the graphics and sound design of this game! surprised it's free!
Unreal Engine'de yapılmış bir 3D Birinci Şahıs oyunudur. Hikaye, Noel arifesinde Oliver adında genç bir çocuğun gizemli bir bebeği Noel süsleriyle dolu başka bir dünyaya takip etmesini konu alır, ancak işler göründüğü kadar harika değildir. Oliver daha sonra çok geç olmadan eve nasıl döneceğini bulmalıdır.

I thought it was a pretty interesting story, with a few good jumpscares that got me lol. Great graphics and art!!!
Creepy/trippy game with good art style that you can complete in one sitting. I enjoyed this game a lot. This was covered as part of this week's episode of Free2Play Weekly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOpAPcknVUg&t=839
I Don't Like Horror Games, But It's A Pretty Good Game.
This is a game with a scary fun idea. It's crazy it is free! I def recommend to play it if you like first person horror games without the gore. Very easy to jump right into.
Just completed the game. Its a really cool and fun realistic christmas horror game i truly loved playing this one quite scary and silly
Game is supper buggy. No ingame settings to turn on vsync = Game has bad screen tearing with a 3080 GPU. Candle light disappears, when it shouldnt be..... Game starts off cute and scary but you might end up running into problems playing it
Fun short game if you are bored, Really good graphics and decent story. Extremely short though.
