About the Game

Help Nia Summers end this hellish nightmare and find her daughter, Blaire.


THE NIGHTMARE

A place filled of evil. With anatomic entities coursing through every vein of this unsettling town; don't let the darkness find you.

GAME MODES
Divination

The Divination Nightmare is the main game mode in—The Recurrence—where you must use your EMF Reader to find spiritual crosses to perform alter rituals to escape the nightmare.

Vindication

Slay the Evil Spirits until the Blood River is content with sacrifices. The Vindication Nightmare is a horde / wave-based game mode that introduces a heavy action element to The Recurrence.

Restoration

Restore your holy rosary to find peace in this demonic world. The Restoration Nightmare is a collect-a-thon game mode, where Nia must find and collect all 59 beads to restore her rosary before escaping the nightmare.

THE ENTITIES

The evil spirits of this world are quite malicious. Use your flashlight to burn the entities that lurk in the darkness. Be careful of the Bloodfall; where enemies become enraged and grow more powerful throughout the night.
