About This Game

Nightmarise is a challenging climbing game mixed with psychological horror.

When you go to sleep, the nightmare begins. The ultimate goal is simple - you have to wake up. To do that, you'll need to climb and reach the top.

Find your way up through strange structures that don’t belong in the real world. Every jump matters. Every mistake sends you down again. Compete for time, help each other through the nightmare, or just try to reach the top before it consumes what’s left of your sanity.

Between climbs, everything slows down. The game changes perspective, pulling you through darker sections built on tension and raw fear. Survive them to return to the climb and push higher into the dream.

Death doesn’t free you. When you die, you wake in your bed - but the dream continues. Sometimes you’ll open your eyes into a false reality, a cruel layer of the same nightmare dragging you deeper before you truly wake.

Play solo for a tense, isolated experience, or join up to three friends in a shared nightmare. Coordinate each climb, watch each other fall, and try to keep it together as the dream twists around all of you. Whether you help or compete, only one goal matters - reach the top, alone or together.

The nightmare doesn’t wait. Every second counts as you climb higher, trying to escape as fast as possible. Challenge yourself or your team to escape the nightmare faster with every run.
