Horror Card Game Will Have You Escape the Nightmare

Horror card games are few and far between, so whenever one does come along, we cherish seeing how our genre can be adapted into a less conventional medium.

Escape the Nightmare places you in “nightmarish dreamscape of clashing realities” and has so far been getting rave reviews. Just look at what Polyhedron Collider had to say:

“It’s less a game and more a group stress test, where your heart is pumping and your brain is confused, because Escape the Nightmare is a game that purposefully messes with your head… The game has attempted to replicate the dread, confusion, and frustration of an actual nightmare; and it has succeeded at this very well… Coming out of a game is that same feeling as leaving the cinema after watching a really good horror film; you’re not sure why you put yourself through that stress, but you know that you enjoyed it.”

It has just under £1000 left to raise on Kickstarter, and there are only a few days left so be sure to contribute. If you need any more convincing that it’s a worthwhile investment of your money, then have a look at their Facebook page and the video review below.

Synopsis:
You and your friends are trapped in a nightmarish dreamscape of clashing realities. Worlds of delirium, death, mutilation, monsters, and more whirl around you as you try to find your bearings. Amidst the chaos a hideous jailer swirls the maelstrom, keeping you disoriented and contained. Deeper in the darkness, something stirs.
