In your quest to save the Noctum from a self-proclaimed ruler, you’ll meet weird and unique friends and foes in Nightmare Boy from Badland Games for the Sony PS4.

This metroidvania takes place in Donorok, in the state of Noctum. After the King of Noctum, Aster, disappears, chaos rules over the world. The relationships between Monsters, Mongos and Dreamers are completely unstable, and Donorok – the land so heavily affected by the chaos – slowly absorbs terrain from the surrounding regions.

Balder has taken over and has ordered the monsters to retain any child who falls into the Nightmare. The key to continuing his rule is with the Nightmare Boy, Billy.

Fast reflexes and a taste for exploration are key if you intend to collect rare items, vanquish enemies, and eventually face your deepest fears.

Tread carefully when talking or interacting with NPCs: Quirky characters and their reactions can have game-changing consequences!
