About this game

Description

Supplied by the Steam store

Step into the oversized shoes of Bobo, a clumsy court jester with a heart of gold, in a 3D platformer that serves as a true love letter to the late '90s classics!

BOBO AND THE CHEST OF NIGHTMARES blends the freeform exploration and verticality of old-school collectathons with a dreamy, twisted, obscure atmosphere. Leap, glide, rail-grind, and puzzle your way through corrupted realms to reclaim the precious EchoMares and confront the ancient Dreammaster: a dark entity who has twisted the kingdom’s dreams into living, macabre nightmares.

Grab your umbrella, stack up your DreamMasks, and leap into the madness!

GAME FEATURES

MASTER THE JESTER’S ACROBATICS: Get a feel for Bobo's fluid mobility! Chain together double-jumps, wall-slides, and your trusty umbrella glide to effortlessly navigate treacherous, highly vertical gothic realms.

PLAY YOUR WAY (MODERN VS. RETRO): Choose exactly how you want to experience the nightmare. Stick to modern conveniences for a smoother ride, or switch to "Retro Mode" for that authentic, unforgiving '90s platformer challenge!

EXPLORE A WHIMSICAL COLLECTATHON: Dive deep into the secrets of the Twilight Circus. Scavenge for shiny Twilight Sweets, rescue Nightmare Wisps, and hunt down rare Voodoo Dolls hidden in every corner.

CHART YOUR OWN PATH & SOLVE MACABRE PUZZLES: Select your next challenge from the central circus hub and tackle realms in any order. Manipulate the environment, decipher intricate mechanisms, and unlock hidden paths to find creative solutions that reward your unique playstyle.

SURVIVE THEATRICAL BOSSES: Face spectacular, larger-than-life foes. Stack floating DreamMasks for protection against their attacks, and unleash the invulnerable Dreamburst to conquer your fears!

TIME TRIAL MODE: Think you've mastered Bobo's moveset? Put your platforming speed to the ultimate test in Time Trials and beat the clock to earn the most elusive rewards.

ENDLESS REPLAYABILITY & GHOSTLY FOES: Going back for 100% completion? Replaying levels completely changes the dynamic! Monsters you defeated in previous runs return as aggressive ghosts to test your reflexes, while already-found collectables appear in a translucent "ghost mode" so you always know exactly what you missed.

🖤 STITCHED TOGETHER BY A LONE PUPPETEER

BOBO AND THE CHEST OF NIGHTMARES is a delightfully macabre passion project brought to life entirely by a single pair of hands. Every treacherous double-jump, eerie mechanism, and dangerously whimsical detail was stitched together with pure love, dark nostalgia, and a healthy dose of madness.

Thank you for stepping into our twisted circus, embracing the absurdity, and supporting this one-man indie nightmare!
