About the game
Now imagine that you will have a chance to visit his worlds. To meet the collegiate assessor Kovalev or to communicate with Chichikov.
Welcome to the mind of a 14-year-old girl. Every night, she is tormented by nightmares, each one a terrifying distortion of a classic literary work. Hiding, fleeing, and solving puzzles are the only ways to push forward and help her face her demons.
An 80s Bedroom Is Your Safe Haven
Your "home base" is the girl’s 80s-styled room, complete with vintage wallpaper, a cassette player, and posters. After surviving each nightmare, the room changes, revealing new details and secrets about her life.
Every Dream Is a Different Book
Each nightmare is completely unique, deeply infused with the themes and motifs of one of the author’s books.
Puzzles, Hiding Spots, and Chases
You will solve bizarre, surreal puzzles, hide from classic literary "monsters" within the dreamscape, and run for your life when hiding is no longer an option.
Planned DLCs will expand into the worlds of other books and authors. Nightmares come in many forms, and every story read has the power to warp reality in its own twisted way.
Don't fear the monsters. Fear what hides behind them.
