Nightmare Artifacts

The dark beckons you forward... will you respond?

Nightmare Artifacts is a lovecraftian isometric puzzle horror adventure that tells the story of an unnamed mayor from a future civilisation, after a tragic mistake caused him to fall from grace.

At the heart of the game is a dimensional shift mechanic: upon coming in contact with a creature from beyond, the mayor gains the power to phase between dimensions, unlocking new paths in an ancient set of catacombs.

Nightmare Artifacts hints at the theme of guilt and hubris. What will happen if the Mayor succumbs to this tempting dark power?
