✦ AI summary

City of Nightmares is a short horror game that delivers effective jump scares and creates a tense, eerie atmosphere that keeps players engaged throughout its brief runtime. Players praise the creepy ambiance, decent plot involving a mysterious virus and haunted hotel, and solid graphics, though many note the story could have been deeper and the experience longer. Most players consider it worth picking up on sale as a fun diversion for horror fans, though some feel the gameplay and puzzles are overly simplistic and the overall experience is underdeveloped.

This is a short game with a good storyline but they could have gone into more depth of the story to have made it a bit of a longer game but other then that its a good game to play there are some good jump scares. Overall this is a good game and I would happily recommend it to anyone who loves these sort of games.

A lovely short horror with good jump scares. Graphics were good and kept me engaged, some things to improve on but really fun. See gameplay below; https://youtu.be/kwVCqk3jNgY

A quick game, good scares and a decent plot, get it on sale and it's a fun little time waster. Rating: 6.5/10

This game is creepy in all the right ways. You’re a detective trying to figure out why a whole city died from a strange virus, and everything leads back to a haunted hotel. The atmosphere is amazing—eerie, quiet, and constantly making you feel like something’s not right. The story unfolds slowly, mixing mystery and psychological horror, and keeps you guessing the whole time. Some puzzles are tricky, but overall? Totally worth it. If you love story-rich horror with a bit of madness, this one’s for you. ⭐ 9/10 – Don’t play it in the dark.
Recommended Apr 16, 2025
Brutally simple. The foundation is here though for the developer to build on. Whether it's reworking this game with better graphics or starting something fresh. Keep at it.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
