Critic Reviews
In Nightmare Review
In Nightmare is a frustrating and dull horror experience that can't live up to the many ideas it tries to set up. This left me not only bored, but disappointed in what it could have been.

A quaint art direction and an occasional well-conceived puzzle are not enough to redeem this painful slog through a child's living nightmare. Trial-and-error instakill sections and some of the worst hide and seek stealth since Sanity of Morris ensure the greatest nightmare will be your own.

In essence, In Nightmare is a narrative heavy puzzle game where all too often you must engage in more action heavy scenes in order to progress. That coupled with frequent sections where you must navigate a room of either a single monster or multiple and avoid detection caused the game to wear out its welcome sooner than it should have. When it's just puzzles you have have all the time in the world to reason out is when the game works best, and I found myself wishing for more of that as the game went on.
