Project Nightmare (Working Title)
Project Nightmare: London is a new horror/tactical turn-based RPG set in a dark, occult reimagining of mid-century Victorian London. Drawing inspiration from board games like Kingdom Death: Monster, Aeon Trespass, Mansions of Madness, and the broader Arkham Horror series, it offers a unique and immersive experience.
In Project Nightmare: London, you manage an enclave of survivors who have become Monster Hunters, tracking and hunting boss-like nightmare creatures through the devastated streets of London. The game combines the tactical, turn-based combat of XCom with the dark, gritty atmosphere and intense boss battles of Bloodborne and Monster Hunter. Additionally, it features a compelling narrative and complex resource, people, and base management mechanics reminiscent of This War of Mine.
Our smaller title, Project Nightmare: Dicebound, serves as a prequel to Project Nightmare: London, focusing on the events leading up to the main game. It features turn-based gameplay with unique dice-based mechanics, exploration, investigation, puzzle-solving, and combat, capturing the essence of survival horror in a format popularised by games like Mansions of Madness.

What they say
It's been a tough couple of years with the industry's current financial issues, especially after receiving several publishing offers for Project Nightmare, only for them to be rescinded due to the financial issues publishers were going through.
This funding will allow us to continue to de-risk the project in the eyes of publishers by giving us the cashflow to grow the team slowly and wait out the current hold on funding larger projects while expanding on the Project Nightmare IP further with our smaller title that aims to grow the Project Nightmare fan base.
