About Living the Nightmare
Fire up the Chainsaw. Just because you're dead doesn't mean anything is over, let alone the killing. Massacre and loot your way through this shifting woodland Nightmare, grow in power and improve your tactics, and maybe, if you can reach all six Carrion Shrines and slay every horrible thing that crawls out of the shadows to stop you, you might just make it back to life. You might even get your revenge. Just know that a wrong move will be your end. Again. For now.
It's a harsh Nightmare. You know what they say—if at first you don't escape, die, die again.
Living the Nightmare is a difficult Horror Roguelike with fast-paced, turn-based gameplay, random and procedural generation, loot and monsters galore, all made entirely by a team of two.

MAIN FEATURES
- A Turn-Based, Hex-Grid, Strategic, Difficult, Horror Roguelike where death is one misstep away. Being turn-based doesn't mean the action is slow. Commands play out as quickly as you input them. Monsters come in packs, but take their turns all at once. Nonetheless, if you want to think about your actions carefully, you have all the time in the world. Death is very patient and a painful Reconstitution is just a click away.
- Scavenge, Survive, and Improve as you rip equipment, ammo, and hearts from the carcasses of your foes. You can find and wield 70 weapons, masks and items. You can also build your own Faceless and try different tactics utilizing over 40 perks.
- A Shifting Nightmare made with a mix of random and procedural generation, featuring multiple biomes and a host of over 50 bosses and monsters with a multitude of mechanics to learn.
- Streamlined Control makes the game intuitive and playable with just the mouse, freeing aspiring Killers to focus on slaughter and survival. Even loot is collected automatically.
- Dive Right In with a short intro/tutorial and get right to the killing. Easy to learn, hard to master is definitely the right phrase, and there is a retro styled in-game Manual for players who want a deeper understanding of the game mechanics.

REALLY good game. Well worth the price. I would describe it as "Turn-based Splatterhouse" Pros: -Fun to play. Satisfying gameplay. Kills are fun. Simple to grasp strategy gameplay that can move at a quick pace. -Introduction is excellent. Surprised to see something that high quality in a game of this price. -Creative power-ups and status effects. Cons: -Awesome introduction seemed to have little to do with the actual nightmare gameplay. -I was disappointed there wasn't more gameplay like the tutorial where you play as a predator.2 found this helpful
Its "Jason goes to Hell" the tough and brutal true rougelike but the game really starts in hell. Its a fun and brutal game where you gotta be tactical and smart with every move you make (and also have a healthy luck with the R&G gods). The art and design of the demons is really cool, going for more grotesque worm and decay monsters then old school horned demons. I wish the characters were actually animated and that we would get more "copyright free" versions of slasher villains. For example he could do his version of Freddy but he does more magic/traps then melee. If you enjoy tough oldschool roguelikes and oldschool horror flicks (especsially Friday the 13th) with a dash of Doom and Diablo, I can recommend you this game.1 found this helpful

Simple but fun roguelike. Easy to pick up and love the horror style. Would love to see this game develop even more variation in terrain and mechanics, but while still maintaining its simplicity. 7/10
Has more meat then a bigmac at half the price. If you have some time to kill....
Good game. Does get a bit frustrating in a bad way with really super strong bosses that have questionable mechanics. Got in a bundle and I'm sure it was worth the ~£1 or however much I spent. Even £2.49 is good for a bit of fun. Really liked the 80s type theme too.
