“Now that our initial vision of the game is complete and satisfies player expectations, we’re looking at the future with excitement! We plan on doing many free post-release updates to the game to add features that we and the community dream of. We’d love to add modding support, multiplayer, and other game modes so we’ll keep a discussion open with the community in order to direct the bright future of Nightmare Reaper." - Bruno Beaudoin, Blazing Bit Founder and Lead Developer

Progress through the cursed depths of a nightmare while finding an arsenal of powerful weapons and improving your abilities along the way. This retro-inspired FPS with looter shooter and rogue-lite elements breaches the wall between classic and modern gameplay. Each of the three chapters is 7-10 hours long and is highly replayable.
