Are you in this mansion all… not alone?

Welcome to a big, creepy, abandoned mansion! Lights are off. The music is ominous.
There’s probably a ghost tutorial waiting for you somewhere around the corner.

The Nick is a meta-horror game where you play as Nick, a boy trapped in a huge mansion in the middle of a forest Explore the halls, read strange notes, meet suspicious residents, survive boss fights —
and, ideally, don’t die.

Sounds familiar? Good. It’s important that you feel comfortable at first.

Features

• No weapons. At all. You can’t fight the way you want to. Instead, you’ll have to react, think, dodge, solve puzzles mid-panic - or just run and hope it works out.

• A story told the wrong way. Letters, dialogues, textures, rooms, bosses... everything quietly says more than it should.

• A diverse world. Different floors. Different moods. Different rules. Not all locations look the same - and that’s intentional.

• Strange friends and unfriendly friends. Some characters feel oddly comforting. Some don’t. Some might not be characters at all?..

• A narrative that breaks its own principles.The Nick occasionally ignores what a “game” is allowed to do. Whatever, you’ll understand later.

• Visual & Sound. Hand-drawn pixel art with a modern lighting and effects that shouldn’t work this well (but do). An original soundtrack that shifts from cozy to unsettling without warning. And sound design that knows when to stay quiet.

• Performance modes and compatibility. But don't expect to be able to install the game on your grandmother's PC with Windows XP and 0.5 RAM just because of the pixelated graphics!

• Chapter 1 is completely free. Get a taste of the immersive game thanks to free access! Try the immersion in the rest of the chapters too... not for free.

It's getting darker...

Don't submit to the cute pixel wrapper! This game may not be at all what it claims to be. Well, I mean, we don't know anything, but... be vigilant.
