NIGhtmare Boy RElease Window Announced

Nightmare Boy, the latest title from The Vanir Project and published by BadLand Games, is coming to the PC, PS4, and Xbox One in Q3 of 2017. This title is a “psychedelic” metroidvania 2D platformer that lives in a world that thrives on your worst nightmares. Victor Avila, The Vanir Project’s head programmer states that “[They] hope players will get a kick out of Nightmare Boy’s unique look, atmosphere, and story, while facing unspeakable, unstoppable horrors”. This title provides a hellish open world in your adventure to save children from various captors. Each child saved will grant the player special abilities, such as double jump and various projectiles. The game is full of quirky characters that have reactions that could change the game entirely, so choose your words and actions carefully. Key Features for the game include the following: 

• Sharp Controls that give the play complete control with double jump, triple jumps, wall grabbing, spells, and more.
• A world map that reveals the far corners of the nightmare the further your path takes you
• Hidden collectibles that are able to reveal a multitude of possible endings
• Precious Stones that are used to purchase items at the store or sacrificed as tribute to save the game.
• Player Choice: You are able to choose who you want to talk to and talk to someone could change the outcome completely.

​While this game is not available until Q3 of 2017, the Steam Greenlight page can be visited with this link if you are interested in checking the game out. But I warn you, the nightmare might consume you!
