About this game

Game Description

Waking Nitemare is a unique indie FPS game that blends the classic, retro charm of the newtro FPS genre with a subtle infusion of modern gameplay elements!

Amidst the rising popularity of newtro shooters, which often strictly adhere to old-school mechanics, this game aims to offer a refreshing experience that can appeal to a broader range of FPS enthusiasts.

At its core, Waking Nitemare is a fast-paced, action-packed FPS that pays homage to the thrill of shooting.

However, the game also introduces several innovative features that enhance the single-player experience without overwhelming the core retro appeal.


Key Features


  • Dash Mechanics: Perform a quick dash, and if you land a successful melee attack, the cooldown is reset, allowing you to chain dashes for rapid movement.

  • Melee Headshot Healing: Scoring a melee headshot will reward you with health regeneration, encouraging strategic use of close-quarters combat.

  • Bullet Time: Activate a slow-motion effect to line up satisfying, consecutive headshots with ease.

  • Diverse Boss Encounters: Face off against a variety of challenging and unique boss enemies throughout your journey.

  • Exploration and Upgrades: Scour the levels to uncover hidden areas and earn valuable upgrades, such as increased max HP and armor, to boost your score and performance.


Story


Waking Nitemare takes players on a dark and atmospheric journey as they hunt down the restless spirits that roam the world.

As a brave soul tasked with guiding these lost souls to the afterlife, you must navigate through eerie environments, confront horrifying entities, and ultimately find redemption.

With its blend of classic FPS gameplay, modern enhancements, and a haunting horror-inspired narrative, Waking Nitemare offers a unique and captivating experience that will appeal to both newtro enthusiasts and FPS fans seeking a fresh take on the genre.
