    Project Nightmares Case 36: Henrietta Kedward is a game that you will not want to miss if you are a lover of this type of experience, which combines terror with the element of survival, despite being short and not having greater incentives to return.

    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.

    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.
