The player's goal is to explore the dream world and collect/buy effects that will change the player character's appearance and/or give them special abilities. The player can wake up at any point by pressing the '''Q''' key, and save by interacting with the calender in the protagonist's bedroom.
 
Scattered across the worlds are '''treasures''', a collectable currency that can be traded to the exploring shopkeeper Masha in order to gain effects.

Explore the dream world as [[Ruho]] . Collect treasure to trade for special items (such as effects) that you can use to solve puzzles or dress Ruho up. Be aware that there are many random elements to these dreams, even some randomized world and room connections. Some special items are not sold in the shop, use all your resources to find these rare items! (From Read Me)

Overview

Nightmare Castle is an English fangame produced by Noyemi K in RPG Maker VX Ace. A re-imagining of their previous project Amiha's Nightmare Castle, the game uses an 8-color palette and minimalist audio to simulate an early PC-98 game with Yume Nikki-style gameplay.

Gameplay

The gameplay of Nightmare Castle is similar to most Yume Nikki fangames, taking place in a dream world containing a variety of different dreamscapes for the player to explore as well as a collectable currency that can be be used to buy effects from a shopkeeper.

The player's goal is to explore the dream world and collect/buy effects that will change the player character's appearance and/or give them special abilities. The player can wake up at any point by pressing the Q key, and save by interacting with the calender in the protagonist's bedroom.

Scattered across the worlds are treasures, a collectable currency that can be traded to the exploring shopkeeper Masha in order to gain effects. Nightmare Castle also features an element of randomness to it: upon entering a doorway, players will sometimes be teleported to a different part of the dream world.

Plot

Nightmare Castle has two playable characters to choose from: Ruho and Tatyana. The game follows whoever the player chooses as they explore her dreams.
