Through the Nightmares
Nintendo Switch
A hardcore platformer for anyone who’s ever been jolted awake from a fright.
You are Sandman, the spirit said to bring good dreams. To bring the children back to their families, Sandman must descend into the realm of Morpheus — a dream god who twists sleep into prison. Here, every fear ever buried comes alive.
They’re waiting. But the dream already knows you’re here. And it will stop at nothing to ensure you never leave.
Through the Nightmares is a game for people who love platforming challenges and secrets. Each of your (many) deaths will be a lesson, and instant respawns make you always ready to try again.
The core gameplay of Through the Nightmares is designed around three Sandman abilities:
• Size-Shifting — Change your size to squeeze through tight spaces, physically manipulate traps, and go through shortcuts. Changing your size also affects your weight and speed. Mastering this ability is the key to surviving a dreamscape designed to destroy you.
• Downward Strike — Smash through walls and floors with a mid-air blow, uncovering new paths and activating mechanisms. Every change to the level persists, even after death.
• Checkpoint Flask — Find, pick up, and place this magical item anywhere in the level to create a checkpoint. Flask lets you resurrect three times before being sent back to the start. Death comes quickly, frustration doesn’t have to.
You must combine all Sandman abilities to confront Morpheus and escape the nightmare. And if you find the game too easy, there are dozens of secrets waiting to be uncovered by the most daring players!
