About this game
After all these years your bad dreams are back but something is terribly wrong... It's a surreal and dark nightmare but people seem to be scared and disgusted by... you?
Only the old, sick and unable to evacuate remained in the city. Everyone else fled. Even though there are strange monsters roaming around the city, people hide strictly from you. "You can keep the whole city to yourself, but you are not welcome among us." - This is the message that was left for you in the letter. The reason is not clear. Maybe you were simply mistaken for someone else?
[Game Features]
An unusual, surreal world that captures the atmosphere of a bad dream.
Creative and amusing puzzles designed to surprise the player with their strange, yet consistent logic.
Immersive and highly interactive world.
Charming, minimalist sketch-style graphics.
"Outside the box" point & click gameplay.
Original and debut soundtrack composed by Desert Fox.

https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/45172409/0183e55e0acd66ee85957666569e898720ba8066.png Dear players, I'm very happy to announce that Bad Dream: Afterlife is finally out!

Bad Dream: Afterlife launches October 10th!!!
Dear players, after months of hard work I'm very happy to announce that Bad Dream: Afterlife is finally ready! The release will take place on October 10, 2025!This date is very important to me because I feel like it marks a turning point in the history of my one-person studio. I'm really proud of the results and I'm very optimistic about the future because it can only go up from here!Also! This is the first project to feature music composed by me. I'm equally spooked and excited to share it with you! I love dark/industrial ambient and I always listened to it A LOT. I can't explain how happy I'm to be able to compose it myself.Thank you all for supporting me when I went fully independent as a developer/publisher! The quality of my games went down at that moment, but I promise you that I used that time and money to improve my skills. Now I finally feel like I can proudly move forward.So... See you on October 10th! And stay tuned because I already have secret surprises in the oven!Thank you for your time!Robert GąsiorowskiDesert FoxRead full article on Community Announcements (Desert Fox)AnnouncementsOfficial
Bad Dream: Afterlife is coming soon !!!
https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/45172409/0324f1660d558b8922e17968391737ed8d5dc8e0.png Bad Dream: Afterlife is a return to the series' roots, and the beginning of a new era! Bad Dream: Purgatory concluded the storyline that had been going on since 2013 (it started with Bad Dream: Butcher). All the characters have a good ending, but life goes on. Unfortunately... It's naive to think that "happily ever after" is a realistic ending. Only the dead can't feel pain and sadness. Once again it's time to fall asleep and experience the nightmare... Add Bad Dream: Afterlife to your wishlist and stay tuned! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3202410/Bad_Dream_Afterlife/ While waiting you can also play: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1692060/Bad_Dream_Stories/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2540460/Faded_Stories_Full_Moon/Read full article on Community Announcements (Desert Fox)
