About Mary Skelter: Nightmares
The "Jail" suddenly appeared a number of years ago, sinking the city deep into the ground. There, this impenetrable living prison 666 metres beneath the surface, held power over eerie creatures called "Marchens." Within the prison was a boy named Jack - living a life of suffering, tortured day in and day out, in a world where all dreams, hopes, peace, and humanity had been lost for as long as the people could remember. Then one day, amidst the darkness that prevailed, a girl who called herself a member of the Blood Team appeared before Jack, holding giant scissors dripping in blood! This marked the beginning of fate - of Jack's and the Blood Maidens' escape from the Jail...
Jack and the Blood Team will face countless perils in regaining all that has been lost, to finally escape once and for all!
Enter the world of Mary Skelter: Nightmares - a darkly sinister dungeon-crawling RPG set in a mysterious tower inspired by twisted fairy tales. Guide your hero Jack and a band of powerful Blood Maidens, the only heroes capable of cutting a path through a living dungeon inhabited by Nightmares – near unstoppable creatures that unceasingly pursue you through fiendishly constructed labyrinths. Fight through legions of “Marchens” using your Blood Maidens’ unique powers and the blood of your enemies to exploit weaknesses, buff your skills and enter a powerful ‘Massacre’ mode to gain the edge in combat. As the Blood Maidens cut through their enemies only Jack’s blood and the Mary Gun can hope to control the Blood Maidens’ violent heroics. A bloody, dungeoneering challenge awaits!
Game Features:
• Customize your characters with 20+ jobs, each with their own unique skillset and stats!
• Challenging Nightmares chase you through the dungeons – use special abilities to lay traps and gain the advantage before battle! Some say there are giant Nightmares so large they span multiple floors…
• Fill your blood meter to transform and deal more damage in the powerful Massacre mode, or reduce it to heal the party and receive stat boosts!
• Explore the twists and turns of the Jail and satisfy its bloody curdling desires to earn helpful Jail Bonuses in your quest to escape!

a surprisingly good dungeon crawler. a lot of variety in party construction and combat encounters compared to many crawlers. it was fun to keep testing out different characters and classes to see what works. the blood skelter system is the main attraction though: the characters enter a kind of powerful berserker mode, and combat is about utilising this while still trying to retain control. each dungeon had a different theme with different enemies. the entire thing was quite surreal. the characters were well written and the story had a lot of detail and depth, which is unusual for the genre but a welcome addition.4 found this helpful
Mary Skelter Nightmare is a First Person Dungeon Crawling JRPG ala the style of Wizardry and Etrain Odyssey. Its uniqueness is derived from a focus on storytelling and the blood mechanic. You play as Jack, the leader of a group of Blood Maidens, girls who are fairy tale personified and made to travel a jail with various zones to try and escape into the real world. Unlike the other games of its genre, the party members you get are determined, each comes with different stats and different classes that they can change into as well as new traversal abilities that allows the player to go into new areas in the map. The mechanic that is unique to this game is blood. As your party fights and kill enemies, they are soaked in their blood, which, when a member is fully drenched they then entered the massacre mode where they become stronger and gained access to very strong and very low cost abilities. But players have to be mindful, as the party members, once hit or witnessed other members getting knocked out can develop combat stresses which will put them into an uncontrollable state once they are fully drenched instead of the massacre mode, giving them super high attack boost but the dow…2 found this helpful
Already played it in the past (around 2018-2019~ iirc); albeit not fully. Having finished it now, definitely recommend it^^. Red Riding Hood > All other Blood Maidens ^~^1 found this helpful
Great game. Interesting story and moderately difficult at times, but ultimately not a hard game.
Story is okay, decent adventure, nice variety of characters, and not too difficult. The constant game crashing is an issue, so save often.
Nice
