Neverending Nightmares – Developer Diary, Teaser, Screens, Info – January 28, 2014

In Neverending Nightmares you’ll step into the shoes of Thomas, who awakens from a terrible nightmare only to find that he is still dreaming. As he descends deeper through the layers of hellish dreamscapes, he must hide from horrifying apparitions and outrun his inner demons. He must discover which of the horrors he encounters are manifestations of his own psychological state and figure out what reality will be when he finally wakes up.

The game has been called both gorgeous and repulsive. Its development has been both therapeutic and torturous for Matt Gilgenbach, who hopes the game will facilitate awareness and  better understanding of mental disorders.

Features:

• Terrifying nightmare worlds inspired by real life struggles with OCD and depression
• Black and white artwork with splatters of red creates a distinctive moody and dark atmosphere
• Branching narrative features 3 completely different endings
• A dynamic lighting system gives the ever present darkness a character of its own
• IGF nominated composer Skyler McGlothlin delivers a haunting and oppressive dark ambient score

On September 26th, you’ll have a chance to see all of this for yourself as Neverending Nightmares releases on PC and Ouya.
