About this game

Have you ever had nightmares? Yes, all of us have. John, the protagonist, is no exception. However, his nightmares are frighteningly similar to his reality...
Feeling that something’s wrong with his dreams and that he is in danger, John tries to make everything right alone, but eventually fails... His wife is fixated on her own problems, all his friends are gone and his family ties were broken years ago. John has problems at work, problems at home… Only you can help him break out of this endless nightmare!

Typical Nightmare is created with help of professional psychiatrists using real cases from their practice. The game doesn’t just frighten you — based on psychoanalysis, it helps to understand the problems that many people tend to have. Who knows, maybe you will face your own fears?

Make hard moral decisions that will radically change the protagonist's life. Find out who plays with John in his dreams and what they want. It’s completely up to you to determine if John will become brave enough to face his fears and overcome them during his Typical Nightmare!

    A quick update of the game!

    Dear, comrades! We want to inform you that at the moment we are preparing a big update that will bring great changes to the game itself, which will fix all the problems you have written, including optimization. We understand that people who bought our game expected this from the start of the game (as it is not early access), unfortunately we did not have time to prepare everything in time for the timing. In the first quarter of 2019, we are preparing a major update that will give the game a second wind, which will allow you to appreciate it. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32552549/a3a709fa1f0021690327f23d34d790e902fd35a1.jpg We can't share more information yet, so wait for the news! Sincerely, ElectroStalin Entertainment!
