Neverending Nightmares is a psychological horror adventure game that is currently in development that I noticed the other day that looks really cool to me. You can watch the trailer for the game HERE. It has a rather unique visual style.

The developer says that he plans to make it an adventure game. Although the thought of some stealth and action sequences have crossed his mind, he mentions in one of his videos how he felt the action sequences in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories detracted from the effectiveness of the experience and how the exploration that the majority of the rest of the game employed was what made it great and that is what he wants to focus on in his own game.

Interestingly enough, he is drawing from the experiences of his own real world mental illnesses as inspiration for the game’s themes.

Anyway, I just thought I would mention it in case anyone missed it.

I don’t think it has been mentioned here in the forums, a kickstarter started for this:

There is a demo to try, interesting stuff

Thanks for bringing this up. I kind of forgot about this game after I posted about it and certainly didn’t know about the kickstarter. I’m downloading the demo to check it out now…

24 hours left on the Kickstarter! As of now it’s only $14,000 away from it’s $99,000 goal!

I finally gave the demo a shot. The graphics look so much more crisp and detailed than the YouTube trailer. I was expecting compressed, resolution-dependent art, like most adventure games, but instead the graphics are more like vectors of some kind; it properly scales to fit an HD screen, for example. The also game feels so much more unique when played. And it’s actually creepy. I was expecting mild amusement at best. Anyway, I hope this gets made.

So those who’ve played the demo, it looks like a Neverending Migraine in the screenshot. I love donating to up-and-coming adventure games, but this animation seems really bizarre.

It’s inspired by Edward Gorey and woodcuts, apparently. Sorry for your migraine troubles, but the game’s style never bothered me. It’s a very placid, slow burner of a game. Perhaps such a dense, detailed screenshot just doesn’t translate well to being scaled down? When it’s scaled up on my 1920x1200 screen it’s noticeably less dense in appearance. Detail is more evenly distributed. Would that help?

This game is fully funded. I’m really happy that it is being made and especially happy for the developer who seems like a genuinely nice guy.
