RED: Lucid Nightmare Now Out on Steam PC and Oculus VR

RED: Lucid Nightmare Now Out on Steam PC and Oculus VR

Get your ‘scary face’ on this October with a newly released modern psychological horror that pays homage to classic horror games akin to Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Dreadhalls.

Additional depth, immersion, and terror added with Oculus VR Compatibility. Play the first chapter now live on steam for 12.99 USD.

RED: Lucid Nightmare is a Survival-Horror Adventure game where players investigate the disappearance of a family during the day and navigate deadly nightmares at night. You play as Mercedes, a down on her luck investigative journalist moving back into her family’s remote mountain home after an accident. After being pulled into a case by an old friend she must discover the connection between her worsening nightmares and the missing family before it’s too late.

“Most horror games are comfortable retreading the same territory and exploiting the same cheap tricks and loud noises to surprise their players. From the very first pitch, my goal was to design an experience that showed what I loved about horror and what I thought was missing from current games in the genre. Our goal with RED: Lucid Nightmares is to create a game that focuses on atmosphere, exploration, and terror without relying on jump scares or shock value. My most sincere hope is that the experience of our game follows a player from the screen, down the hallway, and then crawls stealthily underneath their bed.” – Naiche Washburn, Lead Designer
