About Nightmare Zapping

Nightmare Zapping is a horror channel surfing game, where you watch a mysterious TV that shows you several people in a cursed town. In NZ you will experience a compilation of short stories dealing with different themes, characters, and events around something unknown that threatens the town.


Tune in, watch the stories, piece them together and uncover what happened in these towns. What awaits you in these channels? A little adventure game? A choose-your-own-story? A romantic date? Nothing can prepare you for the horrors you're about to experience.

Two stories on one package!


  • Part 1: Mysterious disappearances have been happening in a small town called Canela Town. Something perverse has the whole town in its grip...
  • Part 2: After the tragedy of Canela Town, Laurel Town - a nearby place - prepares for its summer festival, unaware that what happened to Canela Town could happen to them.

Features


  • A lot of Channels to watch
  • Rotoscope Animations
  • Smaller sized minigames in special channels
  • 2 compilations of small horror stories
  • Unknown channels with weird happenings
  • And a lot of static...

Cosmic horror relayed through late night channel flipping. This is excellent.

Most unique and intriguing indie horror game that ive played. Theres a real darkness to this that is surprising even for steam. Find me another game where this many kids die............impossible. Only complaint would be that you need to somehow make it visible to the player what is required to move on at times. Because I ended up watching the end of this game on youtube as I was bored ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ going over and over the same channels which is the last thing you weant as a dev. So yeah, give your players more guidance. But the the story and atmosphere is genuine horror.

This game was really enjoyable. It wish there was a bit more channel hoping involved, like where you'd have to find another channel to progress things... I appreciate the dev commentary at the end of the game explaining that they wanted to do that but didn't have the time/budget. All said, there is a ton of content packed into this and it is still really enjoyable to flip through and play. Would absolutely recommend.

Cute short title with spooky elements and pretty simple puzzles. I enjoyed the lore.
