About the Game

Welcome back to Nightmare House. Delve into an action-packed first-person horror experience based on the legendary Half-Life 2 horror mod "Nightmare House 2".

THE LEGEND, REIMAGINED

Tread through an abandoned house haunted by the nightmares of its former occupants. You are trapped inside with a powerful entity named Emily – make peace, build trust, and unravel her past, present and future as you desperately seek an escape from this twisted reality. The only way out is through.

NEW OLD SCHOOL HORROR

Nightmare House is a true early 2000s horror experience. Return to the gameplay you know and love with new mechanics that add complexity and depth. Explore, fight, and survive in this reimagining of the original game’s house chapter.

COMBAT WITH AN EDGE

Using a unique directional attack system, wade into visceral melee combat with your trusty axe. When you can't get up close and personal, engage in satisfying gunplay with an arsenal of weapons. Bullets are scarce, so make every shot count.

KEY FEATURES
