Miniature Nightmares

About our game:

Brace yourself for an unparalleled arcade-style horror experience that blurs the line between reality and fiction. Set in a physical house diorama, one player embodies the desperate human fighting to outlast the night, while the other embodies the relentless, nightmarish monster. With every corner fraught with peril and every decision critical, players must utilize their wits and strategy to win. Seamlessly blending video game mechanics with physical elements, this 1 versus 1 PvP showdown promises heart-pounding thrills and unparalleled tension. Can you outsmart the darkness and emerge triumphant, or will you become another victim of the nightmare?

In our childhood, we used to play with toys, and let our imagination breathe vivid life into our playthings; we'd smash our action figures together while picturing a mighty clash between superheroes; we'd plow through walls of building blocks, pretending to be some sort of mighty beast. Miniature Nightmares marries this youthlike whimsy of tangible toys with the full advantage of digital spaces.
