    A group of scientists dedicated to studying the paranormal has developed a machine that can induce a patient with psychic abilities into a dream state, linking them to a malignant or cursed object.

    Project Nightmares is in charge of investigating such objects, discovering the history behind them, and putting a stop to the evil they embody.

    In the first installment of the game, we will play through the case of Henrietta Kedward. A toy with a dark past provides us with a connection to this malicious old woman; tapping into this connection, we'll find ourselves in a nightmare set during her lifetime, surrounded by terror and mystery.

    Every time you play, Project Nightmares will be different. The game was designed so that the experience of playing through it changes constantly; beyond the engaging storyline, the player will never know what's going to happen next.

    Project Nightmares is a dark procedurally generated horror experience. With tight spaces and horrific creatures, this will test your resolve. Moreover, the use of puzzles and the reliance on light will push you to your limits.

    The compelling horror mystery at the center of Project Nightmares is occasionally fraught with a frustrating lack of polish.

    Thoughts-
    Project Nightmares will undoubtedly test your resolve. It’s not necessarily an easy game. And, as mentioned previously, you will die many times with the expectation that you learn from your failures. However, the title isn’t overly long and doesn’t overstay its welcome. You can finish Project Nightmares in the space of 3-5 hours if you’re focused. At the culmination of the game’s narrative, you’ll have to make a choice that will ultimately affect the final outcome. Despite the story’s simplicity, this bite-sized horror experience lends itself well to the setup of a potential anthology series much like Supermassive’s The Dark Pictures Anthology series. Whether NC Studio is ready for that sort of future is anyone’s guess. But first, there’s some clean-up work that needs to be done with this console release.
