Gosh, it's taken me a while to write another one of these things. I really need to work on that, huh? Get on it, you jerk!

Ahem.

So this time, I figured I should give an overview of what exactly this game is. Hmm, maybe that should've been the first entry. Oh, well! So, what exactly is Noel's Nightmares?

Noel's Nightmares is a dark, narrative-driven 2D adventure game. The story centers on Noel, a boy plagued by nightmares that he feels powerless to stop. Okay, at least some of that's probably obvious from the title. As the story unfolds, the player will learn more about what (or is that "who"? Dun dun dun!) is causing his nightmares and -- hopefully! -- help Noel to overcome them. I hope that the game hits a lot of strong emotional notes, but in the end I guess it's really the players that will decide how well it manages that.

The majority of the gameplay occurs in various nightmares, each one taking place within a unique setting, with the player guiding Noel through them. In order to make it through each of these "levels," the player will need to look around, discover clues, and utilize special abilities which Noel develops as his journey progresses. Noel's nightmares (title!) will take him everywhere from deep in the dark woods to a frozen cavern to a haunted house.

There are still lots of details yet to come, and I don’t necessarily want to give too much away, but feel free to hit me with any questions you’ve got and hopefully I can answer them in a not-totally-useless way!
