Gameplay:

Your character, Tom, inherits a mysterious hotel in the town of Redwater. Over the course of a week, he must decide the fate of the place, but each night proves to be much darker and more dangerous than the day.

Day Repair: The player spends his days exploring the hotel, solving puzzles, and rebuilding destroyed rooms. Each repair brings new details to the hotel's history.

Nightmares: When night falls, the hotel is transformed into a sinister maze with threats lurking in the darkness. The player controls the light - flashlight and lamp - to uncover secrets and avoid monsters.

Lighting and Vulnerability: Each light source brings its own benefit and protection, but they also have their own drawbacks that nightmares are sure to try to take advantage of.

Plot and Mysteries: As Tom progresses in his repairs and research at night, he uncovers dark secrets of the hotel and its past. All decisions and discoveries affect the progression of the story.

Live a week in Nightmare Tale, weighing every choice, and watch your story unfold in this engaging and interactive pixel novel.
