Days Like A Nightmare

Days Like A Nightmare is a logic-based challenge set in Site 72, a human containment facility. You investigate the residential area to identify which person is hosting Rubyuk, a parasite that invades human hearts. Using a specialized sensor, you place and power three sensors in the investigation area, then interpret their readings to deduce who is infected. The rules are simple, but Rubyuk variants can complicate your conclusions.

Investigation and story

The game progresses from DAY1 to DAY7. Levels up to DAY4 serve as tutorials, while DAY7 features a special custom mode. The facility’s staff work together, and the investigation includes clues such as graffiti reading “Days like a nightmare” in Arabic. A rumored Rubyuk “Queen” is also mentioned.

Nightmare attacks

You can take time to think through the deductions, but Nightmare attacks introduce action elements. The atmosphere is eerie and includes a few jump scares. Sensor signals may cause nausea or hallucinations in some people, and unnecessary Rubyuk mutations can also appear in the readings.
