8 itemsAbout the Game
In the Night You Had Bad Dreams is a first-person horror game. A strange house within your dreams seems to twist and change, waiting for you to solve unconventional puzzles. You simply need to find the key and open the door. If you find enough keys and open enough doors, maybe the nightmare will end.
"Ever since I moved into this house, I've had weird dreams. For the first few months, I thought it was the stress of adapting to a new place. Two years have passed now , and I still get this strange feeling -like someone is watching me in my sleep. Like I'm not alone in this house. I feel tired all the time. Sometimes I get lost in my own house. The doctors say I'm fine. Therapy doesn't work. I'm so tired."
This game is my first project as a solo developer , and I have decided to release it for free as a gesture of gratitude towards the game development community. They have played a crucial role in making this project a reality through tons of tutorials, support forums, and free assets available online. Although I acknowledge that it is not flawless, I simply wanted to contribute something and hope that people find enjoyment in the experience.
