Nightmare Within is a first-person psychological horror where fear is born within the protagonist’s mind. A house, familiar from childhood and youth, gradually loses its logic: light behaves strangely, objects come to life, and the past seeps into the present.
The game focuses on atmosphere, psychological tension, and storytelling through the environment.

Story
You play as a man whose world is shattered by loss: first he loses his daughter, then his wife. Every room holds memories, regrets, and images he cannot forget.
During exploration, you find notes and fragments of memory, encounter ghostly voices and objects from the past that intertwine with the present. The truth gradually emerges, and the player pieces together the story of the protagonist and his family, realizing that the boundary between reality and the inner world is nearly erased.
