About This Game

Bad Dream: Purgatory is a surreal point and click game set in an abandoned and forgotten project, filled with unused characters from a cancelled game. These characters are trapped in a state of limbo, suspended in nothingness without any purpose or direction. It's up to you to decide their fate and give them the meaning they so desperately crave. "You can't die if you've never lived" - but what if you only exist as a first thought, a person without any depth?

Unlike previous Bad Dream games, Purgatory is presented in a side-scrolling format giving players a more immersive and personal experience. The artstyle is simplistic, with hand-drawn illustrations that perfectly capture the game's atmosphere.

Important:  The game has a full Point & Click mode with a static camera.

The game consists of three chapters. Two of them (the introductory one and the simplified ending) are linear. The open world is non-linear and includes all achievements and a "true ending."

Game Features:

• A non-linear chapter allowing you to hunt for secrets and achievements

• Two modes of gameplay (side-scrolling or static camera)

• Interactive environment

• Sound environments - SFX sound different in different rooms (echo, muffled sound, etc.)

• Custom music and sound effects ( I learned how to compose my own music and I bought a microphone to record my own SFX )

• Artstyle - I learned how to draw as well :P

• A game made by one person - Guys. I even drew my own fonts :P To be fair I wasn't able to record ALL SFX myself, but other than that I made this game alone. Btw. NO AI

This is version 2.0, released in July 2026. It includes a multitude of changes, improvements, and fixes. The biggest one is the switch from 2.5D to side-scrolling mode.

(The first version is still available for download as the "old version" - tutorial in the pinned post)
