About the Game

Developed by a solo developer, Portal of Nightmares Chapter 1 is an atmospheric horror experience centered on a local legend at a school where every living soul has vanished without a trace. The building remains perfectly preserved as if time stopped in a single heartbeat leaving you to navigate its desolate corridors and outdoor paths alone.

There are no complex puzzles to solve or convoluted mechanics to master. Your progress is driven by exploration and discovery. Find and read the notes left behind by those who disappeared to uncover the chilling backstory of what happened within these walls.

Gameplay Features

• Environmental Storytelling: Piece together the mystery through notes and an untouched, eerie atmosphere.

• Focused Navigation: Move through the school and surrounding areas without difficult puzzles and tasks designed to significantly slow you down.
