Hello. This is Maetdol Games.
It's been two years since Nightmare: The Lunatic entered Early Access.
Between unexpected development changes and the addition of multiple systems, it's taken us longer than we thought.
But now we're really close to the full release!
There were many moments when we wanted to give up, but thanks to the people who love our game, we've made it this far.
We'll continue to work hard on the remaining content, and we can't wait for you to see it in full as soon as possible!
1. Official Release Date
We expect the official release to be late February - early March.
We should be able to give you an exact release date sometime in February.
We're working hard on it now, so please be patient!
2. Full Version Preview
Add the 'Sanctuary of Gladiators' Stage
The fifth and final stage, 'Sanctuary of Gladiators' will be added.
Defeat the sea-cursed gladiators and reach the end of your dreams!
Add Story Elements
In fact, Nightmare: The Lunatic has a story.
You can check out the story behind each stage.
The End?
Will the player be able to escape this terrible nightmare?
You can find out for yourself.
Reforging
Reforging completely changes some of a weapon's abilities.
Try using the same weapon in a new way.
Nightmare Analyzer
When you've been in a nightmare this long, you should know how to use it to your advantage.
The Nightmare Analyzer allows you to enhance your weapon erosion.
Nightmare Difficulty
If you found the game too easy, try the Nightmare difficulty.
Hardened enemies, multiple constraints, and wicked room configurations await you.
Add Weapons
7 more weapons!
In addition, Totems, Sets, and Traces of Nightmare (blessings/curses) will be added.
Stay tuned!
3. Price Increase
Price increased: $14.99 -> $16.99
Increase schedule: 2024-01-21 07:00 (PST)
As planned in Early Access, we've added a lot of content, which has resulted in a price increase.
The current price for each country is based on the Steam Suggested Price at the start of Early Access.
However, when we raise the price, the new Steam Suggested Price will be applied, so some countries may see a large price change.
(As a result, the price of the soundtrack ($4.99) will remain unchanged, but will increase slightly in most countries).
We'll discount 20% at official release.
Please compare the pre-hike price with official release discount price to make a better choice!
Please understand that in order to run official release discount, we need to raise the price at least 30 days before official release.
4. Plan to After Official Release
What we plan to develop after official release.
- Add 1 new boss per stage
- Lunatic difficulty
- Boss Rush mode
- ???
However, in order to continue the development of Nightmare: The Lunatic, we need a lot more love than we have now...
Here's how you can give us some love!
