Feels like a fan game, with many references to RE, SH, and Amnesia. Was nice to play, and had some fun with it.

Inexpensive, short and sweet. It's a love letter to old style horror titles on PS1 etc. I had a lot of fun and by the time it was over was left wanting more. Definitely worth a purchase if you want to stroll down memory lane with a game that emulates the classics.

Nightmare of Decay reminds me of classic games like Resident Evil 1 and 2, as well as Silent Hill. The atmosphere is similarly tense and eerie, but it also has its own distinct style. It’s great to play something like this again something that really captures the essence of what made those classic games so memorable. For survival horror fans, especially those who love the Resident Evil series, Nightmare of Decay is an absolute must play. The game does an excellent job of creating a haunting atmosphere that evokes the best moments of early horror games, while also bringing in fresh ideas. It combines the classic elements of exploration, puzzle-solving, and resource management that made the genre so popular, with a new perspective. And for just 4 euros, it's an absolute bargain. I hope that with enough support, the developers will be encouraged to create more games like this. They’ve truly crafted a little masterpiece here, one that can evoke nostalgia for long time fans and captivate new players alike. It’s proof that it’s still possible to develop games today that capture the magic of the classics while being unique and innovative in their own right. So, if you're in the mood for a thrilling and creepy adventure, Nightmare of Decay is definitely worth checking out. 8/10

I finished the story twice, it gave a very good vibe like RESIDENT EVIL. Simple and interesting puzzles also with different guns. The old quality made the game much scarier I definitely recommend it. Classic Classic 7/10
