Another Nightmare

Another Nightmare is a puzzle-adventure horror game set in a dreamlike hedge maze. You solve puzzles, find items and try to escape in one of four ways while a playful, malicious creature stalks you through the fog.

The maze and its threat

The maze’s layout stays the same, but item locations and puzzles are slightly randomized. Interactables are scattered throughout, and each section has a puzzle. The forest goes silent when the creature is nearby; it can hear and see you, so avoid making noise or entering its sightline. You can use sound to your advantage, since you may hear it before it hears you.

Items and survival

Find useful items to navigate the maze, unlock areas and defend yourself, or fight the creature. Items can have multiple uses, and some defensive items are also needed to solve puzzles. Manage your limited supplies and ration your defenses; items can scare the creature away, but sometimes only briefly.

Escaping the maze

The game provides hints through voice lines and color coding, while exploration guides the rest. Collectables can be found in the main menu. Progress saves automatically only at specific events and triggers; manual saving requires a particular item and an interactable in the maze. An average playthrough takes 2 to 3 hours, depending on navigation and memorization, while full completion is expected to take about 5 hours. The four endings are shown in the main menu, and credits unlock after you complete at least one playthrough.
