Living the Nightmare

Living the Nightmare is a difficult horror roguelike with fast-paced, turn-based combat on a hex grid. You fight through a shifting woodland Nightmare, massacre and loot its inhabitants, and grow stronger as you work toward returning to life and taking revenge. To escape, you must reach all six Carrion Shrines and slay every creature that emerges from the shadows; a wrong move can kill you again.

Fight and survive

Commands resolve as quickly as you enter them, while monsters in a pack take their turns together. You can take as much time as you need to plan, but death is always close. Scavenge equipment, ammunition and hearts from defeated foes, and use what you find to improve your tactics.

Build your Faceless

You can find and wield 70 weapons, masks and items, build your own Faceless, and choose from over 40 perks to try different tactics. The Nightmare combines random and procedural generation across multiple biomes, with more than 50 bosses and monsters whose mechanics you can learn.

Learn the mechanics

A short introduction and tutorial get you started, and loot is collected automatically. The game can be played with a mouse, and a retro-styled in-game Manual offers a deeper explanation of its mechanics.
