Nightmare Game (噩梦游戏) Reviews

This game should be named: Infinite walking simulator Next time don't try to make the game little longer by force.

Back at it with the Steam deep dives! Nightmare Game was described by my usual steam diving audience as "[...] like all of that genre rolled into one.", so if you understand what that means, you pretty much know everything you'll need to should you decide to play it. A lot of bad reviews on this game talk about the length, and I can't blame them- There comes a point where you find yourself doing nothing but walking- into a room, out of a room, from one area to the next, and repeat. You will watch the same events happen over and over- and for the most part, you won't get any new experience out of seeing them from a new POV. The English translation is.... Bad. The dialogue leaves a lot to be desired and stops being funny after enough repetition. This is one of those games you mute, as well- royalty free music, however nice, gets old after long enough. You've definitely heard the one used here if you frequent rpgmaker games. You will get sick of almost everything happening by about the 4th playthrough- Anything relevant to the 'plot' starts at the sixth. [spoiler]To fast track your Nightmare Game experience, you can progress days by leaving your character's room, walking to the nearest lobby (or daily event) and returning. You do not have to talk to other characters.[/spoiler] Like most games of this quality, it's really only enjoyable if you're having the experience with friends, and mostly for the purpose of making jokes at its expense. If you take the plunge and DO buy this game, I implore you to finish it- the way they've decided to end it is possibly the funniest thing in the game, and the fact that it's not satire makes it better. Not recommended if you're unwilling to play in the space- The story is silly and a little nonsensical, and is only enjoyable if you're similarly silly and nonsensical about it.
