By The Horror Network July 18, 2017

“A deeply scarring psychological experience that relies on an overwhelming & oppressive atmosphere in conjunction with horrific discoveries. Heavy overtone of mental illness. One of the best, buy it!”

Reviews

“Neverending Nightmares falls into the must-play section of the horror genre. Whether or not you find it scary, you’ll definitely be disturbed and intrigued as you seek resolution to the madness.”
4.5/5 – GameRevolution

“Neverending Nightmares is an excellent display of psychological horror that is as thought-provoking as it is terrifying.”
4.5/5 – TwoDashStash

“By the time I was done with Neverending Nightmares, not only did I have a great scary time, I felt like I understood a little bit of what Gilgenbach and others struggling with the illness feel on a daily basis. Make no mistake, it's still a horror game first and foremost, but that extra little bit of dark knowledge is unsettling. The terror feels more real, more concrete, than any other horror game I've played in recent memory.”
7/10 – Destructoid

About This Game

Neverending Nightmares is a psychological horror game inspired by the developer's actual battle with mental illness. In the game, you take on the role of Thomas who awakens from a terrible nightmare only to find that he is still dreaming. As he descends deeper through the layers of hellish dreamscapes, he must hide from horrifying apparitions and outrun his inner demons. He must discover which of the horrors he encounters are a manifestation of his own psychological state and figure out what reality will be when he finally wakes up.

Terrifying nightmare worlds inspired by real life struggles with OCD and depression.
Black and white artwork creates a distinctive moody and dark atmosphere.
Branching narrative features 3 completely different endings.
A dynamic lighting system gives the ever present darkness a character of its own.
IGF nominated composer Skyler McGlothlin delivers a haunting and oppressive dark ambient score.
