About the Game

BOBO AND THE CHEST OF NIGHTMARES blends the freeform exploration and verticality of classic 3D platformers with a dreamy, circus–meets–Halloween atmosphere. As Bobo, a clumsy jester with a golden heart, players leap, glide, rail-grind, and puzzle their way through corrupted dreamworlds to reclaim EchoMares and confront the ancient Dreammaster who twisted the kingdom’s dreams into living nightmares.

  • MASTER THE JESTER’S ACROBATICS! Chain together double-jumps, wall-slides, and hat-glides to effortlessly navigate treacherous, highly vertical gothic realms.

  • SOLVE MACABRE PUZZLES Put your wits to the test! Manipulate the environment, decipher intricate mechanisms, and unlock hidden paths reminiscent of classic 3D adventure games.

  • EXPLORE A WHIMSICAL NIGHTMARE Dive into the secrets of the Twilight Circus. Scavenge for Twilight Sweets, rescue Nightmare Wisps, and hunt down rare Voodoo Dolls in every corner.

  • CHART YOUR OWN PATH Select your next challenge from the circus hub and tackle realms in any order. Discover multiple routes and creative solutions designed to reward every playstyle and platforming skill!

  • SURVIVE THEATRICAL BOSSES Face spectacular, larger-than-life foes. Stack floating DreamMasks for protection and unleash the invulnerable Dreamburst to conquer your fears!
