Nightmare Frames

Nightmare Frames is a point-and-click adventure set in Hollywood in 1985. Alan Goldberg, a frustrated slasher-movie screenwriter whose career has stalled, is offered anything he wishes for by eccentric millionaire Helen Westmore if he can find the last unpublished work of horror director Edward Keller, said to be the scariest film of all time.

The investigation

Alan’s search takes him through B-film production companies, visual-effects workshops and religious cults, and to Serena, a small haunted town where Keller was last seen. The investigative thriller grows darker as the story progresses, moving from ambient horror to the depths of Hell.

Locations and characters

The game has more than 80 playable locations and 50 characters to interact with. Its puzzles are based solely on inventory.

Music

The original soundtrack is by synthwave musician Stefano Rossi. At Joe’s Diner, you can listen to SYNTHWAVE FM, where DJ Karen Johnson broadcasts licensed tracks by Heclysma, Decade Defector, Vincenzo Salvia and Self Delusion.
