LogInA game to hunt down Youkai, the terrifying creatures inspired by urban legends and traditional Japanese folklore.
Welcome to the spooky ruins of Tokyo in 2036, where you're about to dive into NIGHTMARE OPERATOR — a kick-butt action-horror shooter. You'll step into the shoes of Misha, a Youkai-hunting badass working for the Provisional Government. She's keeping the Quarantine City of Shin-Chiba safe while digging into a mystery that could spell trouble for whatever's left of civilization.
NIGHTMARE OPERATOR
When survival horror shooter meets skillful fighting game mechanics, you can expect a high-octane gaming experience full of thrilling combat and strategic gameplay.
Let's take a glance at its key characteristics:
- Clutch System - Misha's Modular Gun allows her to rapidly switch between Weapon Modules using command inputs inspired by fighting games. Efficiently dispatching Youkai requires maintaining a cool head and skillful execution, even as the horrifying creatures close in.
- Legends Brought to Life - The Youkai that Misha encounters are drawn from urban legends, and Japanese folklore. However, they don’t appear exactly as depicted in the well-known stories. These are the monsters the stories are based on.
- Powerful Status Effects - Weapon Modules are imbued with various elemental damage types that allow Misha to inflict statuses such as “freeze”, “stun”, or “bleed” upon Youkai. Learning when your next shot is going to send a Youkai reeling or freeze them solid is key to survival.
- Build Your Own Combos - While exploring the ruins of Tokyo, Misha will discover and build up an impressive arsenal of Weapon Modules. Weapon Modules can be slotted into different "Command Slots" in Misha's Modular Gun, allowing players to choose which command inputs to assign to what modules.
- Lo-Rez Tokyo - The locations Misha explores in NIGHTMARE OPERATOR are all based on the real-world districts and neighborhoods of Tokyo. Famous landmarks and beloved streets are realized in a beautiful low-poly aesthetic that is inspired by the early days of 3D video games.
- Kanpai! - Between missions, Misha and her team have nomikai at a local izakaya in the Quarantine City. These sections will allow players to explore archives from the broken world of NIGHTMARE OPERATOR, interact with the inhabitants of the Quarantine City, and drool over low-poly izakaya fare.
