Geppetto's Nightmare

Geppetto's Nightmare "The child who is not embraced by the village will one day burn it down to feel its warmth." A first-person psychological horror experience centered on exploration, investigation, and puzzle-solving. Taking on the role of Geppetto, you will search for Pinocchio, interact with your environment, uncover hidden clues, and step-by-step discover the unsettling truth behind his desire to become a real boy. Gameplay: Confront Your Past, Survive The only way to wake from this nightmare is to confront every memory you have fled from. In each chapter, you will encounter unique horrors that represent a different mistake from Geppetto’s past. - The Artisan's Arsenal: The toys and inventions you crafted in your happier days are now your only tools for survival. These gadgets, emerging from your old memories, will guide you in overcoming the obstacles you face. - Variable Threats, Unique Solutions: Every chapter presents a "confrontation" and mechanics specific to that stage. In one chapter, you must find your way through a labyrinth by shifting walls while fleeing shadows; in another, you must solve complex ciphers to unlock the sealed doors of the past. - Hide and Observe: Sometimes the safest place is in the heart of the darkness. Learn your enemies' routines, hide, and wait for the right moment. - The Moment Nightmare Touches Reality: Is this real? Too terrifying to be true; too real to be a nightmare. As the environment turns surreal, the tones darken, and the atmosphere grows colder, you will be brought face-to-face with the deepest corners of your mind. As the darkness advances, your places to run will diminish. - Dynamic Puzzles: The game will keep you on edge. One moment you will be in the middle of a chase, and the next you will find yourself challenging your mind within an environmental puzzle. With every step, you will slowly uncover the truth. Story: A Conscience Amidst the Mists The village is silent, the workshop is cold, and Pinocchio… Pinocchio is missing. But he isn't the only one; the village youth and their families are vanishing into the darkness one by one. The villagers' eyes are on you, Geppetto. The solace you sought at the bottom of a bottle has turned you into a criminal in the eyes of the people, and a negligent father in your own. Did a monster truly kidnap your son, or did you abandon him to a nightmare created by your own hands? Geppetto's Nightmare is a suspense-filled journey through a metaphorical labyrinth built from a father’s drunken memories and heavy regrets.
