Game Description


Waking Nitemare is a unique indie FPS game that blends the classic, retro charm of the newtro FPS genre with a subtle infusion of modern gameplay elements!

  • Bullet Time: Activate a slow-motion effect to line up satisfying, consecutive headshots with ease.
  • Diverse Boss Encounters: Face off against a variety of challenging and unique boss enemies throughout your journey.
  • Exploration and Upgrades: Scour the levels to uncover hidden areas and earn valuable upgrades, such as increased max HP and armor, to boost your score and performance.
