‘Nightmare Circus' is coming to PC and consoles worldwide this year, with a release targeted for Q2.
From Fairplay Studios and Red Dunes Games, the game is gaining a lot of fans within the gaming community for its visuals and clever on-screen dynamics. There is now a demo available for everyone to sample the carnival of delights on offer!
‘Nightmare Circus' is a surreal and thrilling action-adventure where an innocent puppeteer becomes trapped in the twisted Nightmare Realm: a dreamlike world born from a traveling circus gone wrong. Explore the shifting landscapes, battle nightmarish creations, and rescue lost performers as you battle to survive. You’ll need to uncover the dark secret behind the realm if you want to wake up from this nightmare…
Players must wield the puppeteer’s strings to ensnare enemies, slam them into each other, and unleash devastating crashes. Each of your movements is a weapon, every clash a performance. Combat is the greatest show as you’ll wind your way through 8-12 hours of challenging puzzles, together with quirky combat and all-out action!
Equal parts cute and creepy, this original adventure game encourages you to run away with the circus, with no promises that you’re going to make it home alive. Players who enjoy Death’s Door or Tunic will feel right at home with the tight, skill-based combat and a sense of atmospheric exploration.
