About
In the Night You Had Bad Dreams is a first-person horror game. A strange house within your dreams seems to twist and change, waiting for you to solve unconventional puzzles. You simply need to find the key and open the door. If you find enough keys and open enough doors, maybe the nightmare will end.
"Ever since I moved into this house, I've had weird dreams. For the first few months, I thought it was the stress of adapting to a new place. Two years have passed now , and I still get this strange feeling -like someone is watching me in my sleep. Like I'm not alone in this house. I feel tired all the time. Sometimes I get lost in my own house. The doctors say I'm fine. Therapy doesn't work. I'm so tired."
This game is my first project as a solo developer , and I have decided to release it for free as a gesture of gratitude towards the game development community. They have played a crucial role in making this project a reality through tons of tutorials, support forums, and free assets available online. Although I acknowledge that it is not flawless, I simply wanted to contribute something and hope that people find enjoyment in the experience.

Got frustrated with repeated kills at the multiple door section, decided to just Youtube it instead. Plot was mediocre. Rating: 2/10
Tried to get into this. i love playing little puzzle games with dark themes, but... well, after playing for such a short time, i got stuck more than twice. not by difficulty, but by the game breaking. i fell through the floor, got stuck behind a wall/in the middle of a hallway. i was willing to give it a chance, but the developers need an unstuck button. i was near the end of a level which i didnt want to restart, so it was frustrating. otherwise was pretty good game. nice music, little freaky, good atmosphere. just the glitching that makes it unplayable for me.

Bu oyun birinci şahıs korku oyunudur. Rüyalarınızdaki garip bir ev, alışılmadık bulmacaları çözmenizi bekleyerek bükülüp değişiyor gibi görünür. Tek yapmanız gereken anahtarı bulup kapıyı açmaktır. Yeterince anahtar bulur ve yeterince kapı açarsanız, belki kabus sona erer.

Игра 'In The Night You Had Bad Dreams' – это короткий, но атмосферный хоррор, который цепляет своей жутковатой атмосферой и параноидальным ощущением. Простая графика, выполненная в пиксельном стиле, не мешает погружению в кошмарный сон главного героя. Наоборот, она добавляет шарма и отсылает к классическим инди-хоррорам. Суть геймплея сводится к исследованию дома во время странного и повторяющегося сна, где на игрока охотится нечто зловещее. Нелинейность происходящего и несколько концовок делают каждое прохождение уникальным. Немногословность и отсутствие объяснений происходящего лишь усиливают чувство тревоги и страха. Игра заставляет гадать, что реально, а что является плодом больного воображения. Скримеры, хоть и присутствуют, используются умеренно, делая акцент на психологическом напряжении. Несмотря на скромную продолжительность, 'In The Night You Had Bad Dreams' оставляет после себя след. Это отличный пример того, как даже с минимальными ресурсами можно создать настоящий хоррор, способный напугать и заставить задуматься. Особенно рекомендуется любителям лавкрафтовской атмосферы и игр, оставляющих больше вопросов, чем ответов.
This lil indie definitely tested my sixth sense. I have grown up with nothing but love of horrors BUT THIS GAME - built the tension and made me jump more than once! I really enjoyed the concept, however this is mostly a game for those puzzle solvers which can kinda "read the room" and work out where to go. However it really did put my skills to the maximum and I thought I was fairly adept!
Needs some work. I'm a sucker for those early 2010's style indie-horror graphics, but there was a lot of back tracking, probably too much for as little as there was to entertain me on my journey back and forth. After some frustration, I got stuck in an invisible pocket and couldn't move at all awhile running across the invisible furniture; which is a shame. Also, the infinite hallway loop has been done to death since PT released, so it was a shame to see it in there. But if anyone else can get past it, I'm sure it's worth a try otherwise.
