Nightmare Descent is an eldritch horror card game where the only way out is to wake up. Trapped in a surreal dream beneath reality, players must descend through shifting layers of madness. Every level takes you deeper into an unknowable abyss, where unspeakable horrors await.
Choose your path—face terrifying entities head-on with dwindling resources, or flee deeper into the unknown, hoping to survive just long enough to wake up. If you’re lucky—or cursed—you may awaken and escape. But every decision chips away at your sanity.
Will you reach the lowest depths of your dreams, confront them and wake up,
Or will the Nightmare claim you?
*Contains 19 imaginative cards and 12 scary enemies!*
Controls:
