Nightmare Frames: A Retro Horror Adventure Beckons

Dive into the neon-drenched, synthwave-soaked nightmare that is *Nightmare Frames*. This isn’t your average point-and-click adventure; it’s a chilling descent into 1985 Hollywood’s underbelly, where frustrated screenwriter Alan Goldberg chases a deal too good to refuse. Eccentric millionaire Helen Westmore offers him his wildest dreams in exchange for finding the lost masterpiece of horror director Edward Keller – a film rumored to be the scariest ever made.

Forget jump scares; *Nightmare Frames* builds suspense masterfully. Your investigation takes you from bustling B-movie sets and gritty VFX workshops to the unsettling cult-ridden town of Serena, a place steeped in darkness and Keller’s last known whereabouts. The game’s atmosphere shifts seamlessly from ambient dread to outright gore, mirroring Alan’s increasingly desperate search.

With over 80 locations and 50 characters to interact with, exploration is key. The gameplay hinges on inventory puzzles, challenging you to piece together clues and unravel the mystery surrounding Keller’s disappearance and his terrifying film. Take a break from the investigation at Joe’s Diner, tuning into SYNTHWAVE FM for a dose of licensed tracks from artists like Heclysma and Decade Defector, perfectly complementing the game’s 80s aesthetic.

From the creator of the award-winning *Urban Witch Story* and *Billy Masters Was Right*, *Nightmare Frames* promises a gripping narrative and a haunting soundscape courtesy of synthwave maestro Stefano Rossi. Prepare for a retro horror experience that will leave you breathless, questioning what truly lies beyond the frame.
