About Nightmare on Azathoth
Nightmare on Azathoth is a survival game about escaping a planet and an endless time loop. You arrive with no memories of your former self, under a dark influence, and must piece together what happened by collecting memory fragments. The silent ones are trying to kill you, but escaping may not be all you need to do.
Survive on the planet
You need to balance your body's needs with keeping your base running and gathering fuel and meteorite for your spaceship. You can get sustenance at your base, but finding food means scavenging buildings. Going too far from base without enough sustenance can lead to death, and how you manage these demands affects how quickly you can escape.
Enemies grow more numerous as time passes, making the planet increasingly challenging if you stay too long. Outside the base, darkness can make it difficult to see, so you use a flashlight and radar to find memory fragments and meteorite. The silent ones blend into the dark; you must use the reflections on their skin to aim at them. If you take too long to aim, they teleport.
Build and save
Robots can help you collect resources, including resources you have tagged. Saving requires converted matter, which lets you enter an altered reality where time and accumulated resources remain the same while everything respawns. You can also use it to restore health, but doing so resets bullet counts and weapons, making the timing of a save a strategic choice.
Multiplayer
In multiplayer, you can invade other worlds and summon a huge silent one. You can also play from the enemy's perspective to see how it perceives you.
