Nightmare Simulator

Hey, you know how some people say "this is the worst game ever" but they're using it figuratively for emphasis? Well, this isn't one of those, this game is literally the worst game I've ever played. Nothing works, there's no way to win a stage and I can barely get the other stages to load because the "wheel picker" just doesn't work; it always picks the same episode no matter where it lands... except for when the wheel ALSO breaks and decides to load something else that I can't play because the FOV is too narrow and I have no idea what is going on while three small dudes beat me off. Plus, the game keeps telling me to kill myself which is just quite very rude. https://youtu.be/PaDYi9H5Tnc

Nightmare Simulator is a surreal visual experience with little gameplay and plenty of confusion. [i]TL;DR at bottom[/i] [b]Gameplay:[/b] In reality, there is actually very little gameplay contained within Nightmare Simulator. It would most likely fall under the category of a walking simulator or simply a virtual experience as you have very little interaction with the environment, only the occasional key press to pick something up or press a button. The game itself is also very slow due to this lack of interaction, as you mostly just have to wait around for something to happen in the level. The very first level of the game, for example, tells you to kill yourself repeatedly with the different tools tossed lazily about the flat plane. It isn't clear what to do besides kill yourself, but after looking into the objective (since I didn't know how to progress) I learned that the developer set a three minute timer on the level, and you simply have to do whatever you want for those three minutes until you can progress. This kind of system might be okay if there was more to look at or do in the level, especially on the first one, but with the annoying looping voice (which I believe is a audio clip from the YouTuber "LeafyisHere") and the lack of things to do was an annoying beginning to my experience in this game. After each level, you spin the wheel and choose which "nightmare" you want to experience, but I don't think that your choice matters at all. The levels appear in a linear fashion and the wheel is just for show, as your choice doesn't affect what level you actually play. The levels are often very unclear about what the objective is, and it was somewhat difficult to progress through some of the levels. Overall, the game is pretty unclear and also slow and boring. [b]2/10 Graphics:[/b] At a first glance, the graphics in this game are pretty horrendous. They seem to use basic assets provided with whatever game engine the developer used to create Nightmare Simulator. Most levels seem to be shoddily thrown together and are a organizational mess. The actual resolution and quality of the textures aren't horrible, but it certainly isn't very good either. Most of the levels take place on a large flat plane with a plain skybox and you can just walk off the edge and die if you get too close. This may attribute to the "nightmare" feel that the game is going for, but I thought there wasn't much work put into the level design. A few levels in particular were actually very visually appealing, most notably the space ladder level and the broken clock level. The broken clock looked awesome, and I wouldn't be opposed to having a screenshot of it as a wallpaper. The space skybox also looked surprisingly good. Overall, the graphics are okay. [b]5/10 Music/Audio:[/b] Music is quite sparse in this game, and it mostly minutely adds to the atmosphere of levels. Granted, there probably wouldn't be music in your nightmares in reality. Sounds are also very strange, but, again, nightmares are strange. Some of the sounds are stock but some are strange choices like voice clips from a YouTuber or some odd voice lines. The sounds certainly add to a strange and surreal experience that honestly made me confused at some points. The audio is probably the most assisting feature of the game toward the "nightmare" experience it advertises. [b]4/10 Conclusion:[/b] Nightmare Simulator is a nightmare. Not just in that it is attempting to simulate nightmares, but simply the fact that it is slow and boring, and honestly more confusing than nightmarish. I had a hard time progressing through the game due to the lack of clarity as to what to do next. The levels were sometimes nice looking, but the game gives a false sense of choice for what levels you want to play as it is linear, in actuality. The sound design is certainly odd, but perhaps that is what the developer was aiming for. I might recommend this game as a funny experience for a meme or something of that vein, but as a game/walking simulator by itself, I can't recommend playing it. [h1]Overall: 3.5/10 - Not Recommended[/h1] [b]TL;DR Pros:[/b] +Some nice looking levels [b]Cons:[/b] -More confusing than nightmarish -Unclear progression -No real gameplay, mostly a walking simulator -Short Check out my gameplay of Nightmare Simulator below to get a better idea of the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEjpX5cyhUM

I do not mind game being weird. But it lacks any kind of polishment. It's not even a game. More like puzzle in 3D => what author had in mind and try not get frustrated with all bugs, glitches, annoyment by camera, etc.

スクショ見て面白そうと思ったんなら買えばいいんじゃないですかね（適当

A very cool and interesting experience had to laugh a few times becaues i like crazy stuff. Kind of wish there was more levels :)

Страшна, холодна, неприємна, жахлива, психоделічна гра бррр. На ніч раджу не грати. З першого погляду гра виглядає непоказно, що від частини правда, але в загальному за цим всім стоїть певна думка, яку не кожен зрозуміє. Гра далеко не для кожного, я б навіть сказав що вона б не сподобалася багатьом, але деяким людям, яке люблять такий психологічний вплив оцінять, тому що тут такого повно. У деяких моментах мені не сподобався як збудований звук, тому що в деяких моментах він відмінно підходить до візуалу і так само інші дрібниці. Загалом п'ять візуальних галюцинацій з десяти.

The game is literally the worst thing I ever played, for some reason I can only enter to 1 nightmare, the one with 0s, 1s in a red world with midgets that constantly tell me to kill myself. If there is a way to access the rest of nightmares and I can't find it, IMO it should be explained... and no, I am not selecting the same level over and over again. Now, the only level I can play is boring, nothing to do. Well, you can die in different ways but they are all the same... Don't waste your time in this "game"

悪夢を見れるゲームです。基本操作はＷＡＳＤとスペース、Ｅ　ゲーム中にメニューなどを開くことはできません。 LSDのようなゲームかと思ってプレイすると、とんだ肩透かしを食らいます。 夢の選択画面であるルーレットには１６個のコマがありますが、手抜きという名の仕様なのか、はたまたバグなのか…１６個のうち１０個くらいが同じ夢です。(最終的に見れた夢は４つで、まだストアページのスクショの夢のいくつかには辿り着けてないのですが、自分が悪いのかすらわからない…)また、ルーレットのコマのいくつかには完全な罠があり、そこでルーレットを止めると、ルーレットの針が異常に遅くなり、再起動しないといけなくなります。ある意味それ自体が悪夢です。 死ぬと目覚めることができ、目覚めるとルーレット画面に戻ることができます。（やめてくれ。） ルーレットのコマの大半を占める、何度も"Kill your self"と囁かれる夢では死に方がわからないので、再起動するしかありませんでした。 雰囲気ゲーとしてもホラゲーとしても、遊ぶことを推奨できません。 もしあなたがフレンドからこのゲームを貰ったなら、一つだけお願いがあります。 このゲームを他人に送らないでください。
