Through the Nightmares (Demo)

Dive into the world of dreams in Through the Nightmares! This is a hardcore platformer where you play as the Sandman, a size-shifting spirit said to bring people good dreams.

Several children are lost in the kingdom of Morpheus, the mad god of dreams, who turns sleep into a prison. To bring the children back to their families, the Sandman must descend to a place where even the most secret of fears come to life…

• Size-Shifting Platformer — Change your size to squeeze through tight spaces, boost your jumps, interact with the environment, and discover hidden shortcuts.

• Challenges For Everyone — Enjoy ruthless precision gaming with instant respawns and a unique checkpoint system that lets you control where you respawn.

• Six Unique Locations — Explore 45 handcrafted levels across three chapters and six different locations based on Nordic folklore, modern-day suburbia, and medieval ruins.

• Reactive Dreamscapes — Manipulate your environment with the Sandman’s abilities to open up new pathways, discover secrets, and solve tricky challenges.

• Dream Secrets — Collect personal items from each nightmare to learn more about the children’s past, reveal the deeper story, and piece together the truth of what happened to Morpheus.

• Towering Terrors — Enormous creatures lurk deep within the dream world, hunting you down. Escape their clutches… or face a swift end.

• Immersive Visuals and Soundtrack — Nightmare dreamscapes are brought to life with striking low poly art and a haunting original soundtrack.

They’re waiting to be rescued. But the dream world already knows you’re here. And it will stop at nothing to ensure you never leave. Are you ready to defy the Dream God himself?
