What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

Thorough Testing: Our game has not undergone a comprehensive testing phase due to resource constraints. Early Access offers a unique opportunity to involve the gaming community in testing the game thoroughly. The valuable feedback received during this phase will help us address issues and refine the gameplay experience.

Marketing and Wishlist Building: We require additional time to build a robust marketing campaign and grow our wishlist numbers. Early Access release allows us to maintain game development momentum while simultaneously focusing on marketing efforts. This ensures that our game garners the attention it deserves when fully launched.

Quality Improvement: Early Access provides an opportunity for us to improve the game's quality further, including better localization, more intricate details, and the introduction of new assets. This iterative approach guarantees that the final release is a polished and comprehensive product.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our initial intended Early Access period was approximately 3 months, provided we have accumulated enough wishlists to ensure the game receives the exposure it needs. We have received very valuable feedback, and we feel like we need to go back to the drawing board. Due to this, we need a few more months to redo the game to provide the best experience possible on the full release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Due to feedback and our evaluation, we feel like we need to revamp the whole game. Approximately, there'll be about 75% changes from the Early Access version. The changes include:

1. A revamped storyline with more depth and mysteries.
2. New ghosts with new mechanics.
3. Revamped puzzles.
4. A revamped quest system.
5. Visual improvements.
6. An even larger area to explore.
7. New assets (audio, cutscenes, props, etc.).
8. A revamp of the episode format, now consisting of main and side stories.

And many more enhancements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“1. A completed storyline (details might change).
2. Core elements of the game (mechanics, setting, presentation).”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“During Early Access, the game will be offered at a lower price point than the final release. This serves as an incentive for players to engage with the game during its developmental phase and provide valuable feedback.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We're utilizing a Discord server where players can provide feedback. Additionally, we'll be closely monitoring and taking into account feedback from the Steam platform itself to ensure a comprehensive understanding of our players' needs and preferences. This isn't something we excel at, but we're giving it our best shot.”

About This Game

Nightmare Side is originally a horror radio show from Ardan Radio, running since 1997 and sharing real spooky stories from the citizens of Bandung City, Indonesia. In this game, we'll explore the radio office itself, which is, unsurprisingly, famously haunted.

"Don't Listen to Nightmare Side Alone" Mechanic

It's the tagline of the show, but it's an actual mechanic in this game. The longer you listen to the show alone, the bigger the consequences.

Meticulously Recreated Setting

The game takes place in the radio station itself, which was recreated 1:1 compared to the real one. Feel the authentic spooky atmosphere.

Authentic Indonesian Lore with a Twist

Encounter authentic Indonesian lore discovered during our investigations and interviews, alongside unsettling discoveries.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The game features gore and psychological horror elements, which may include screaming and other disturbing content. Player discretion is advised due to the mature nature of the game's themes and content.
