Why play it

Project Nightmares is a first person horror survival with a procedural structure of unique scares. Connected to a machine you will be induced to sleep to be part of this nightmare and discover the terrible story of Henrietta Kedward, an horrible old woman with a dark past.

Story and worldbuilding

A group of scientists dedicated to studying the paranormal has developed a machine that can induce a patient with psychic abilities into a dream state, linking them to a malignant or cursed object. Project Nightmares is in charge of investigating such objects, discovering the history behind them, and putting a stop to the evil they embody. In the first installment of the game, we will play through the case of Henrietta Kedward. A toy with a dark past provides us with a connection to this malicious old woman; tapping into this connection, we’ll find ourselves in a nightmare set during her lifetime, surrounded by terror and mystery.

Project Nightmare Case 36: Henrietta Kedward is a standout experience, drawing players into a meticulously crafted, eerie world rich in detail and atmosphere. Exploration, environmental interaction, and the uncovering of clues and symbols are central to piecing together Henrietta’s story and understanding the complex psychology of the characters. The game sustains a constant sense of tension and intrigue without resorting to cheap tricks, prioritizing immersion, narrative coherence, and high-quality art direction. Every environment feels authentic, every object narratively significant, lighting is carefully tuned, and dynamic sound design heightens the emotional and psychological impact of each moment. Its deliberate, reflective pacing rewards careful observation, deduction, and the thoughtful connection of fragmented details, offering a deeply satisfying investigative experience for fans of psychological horror. Each discovery matters, turning exploration into a meditative journey that engages both intellect and emotion. The seamless integration of world building, narrative, and gameplay ensures that every player action feels meaningful, reinforcing the story while enhancing the sense of psychological tension.The game tackles complex themes such as trauma, memory, and isolation with subtlety and depth, weaving them naturally into the story and environment. Henrietta’s narrative becomes more than a mystery to solve – it is an exploration of human emotion, motivation, and vulnerability. Even approaching the game with cautious expectations, players are quickly captivated: first by its striking visuals, then by a narrative that fully immerses and engages. In conclusion, Project Nightmare Case 36: Henrietta Kedward is a game of remarkable artistic and narrative achievement, delivering a cohesive, immersive experience where exploration, investigation, world building, art design, and sound design converge harmoniously. It is highly recommended for players seeking a title that combines psychological tension, narrative depth, and meticulous attention to detail – transforming gameplay into an emotionally charged, reflective, and unforgettable journey. In a crowded and increasingly formulaic gaming landscape, it feels like a fresh, exceptional breath of air.

Project Nightmares Case 36: Henrietta Kedward is a title with an interesting plot and compelling puzzles. However, unfortunately, the Switch version ends up set back by the lacking brightness, resulting in many disappointing moments.

What makes Project Nightmares Case 36: Henrietta Kedward interesting is that it’s built around an interesting idea, except it sabotages itself by then allowing two of the dumb ideas – one of them possibly dumber than anything else I’ve ever seen – to take precedence over that interesting idea. It would be fascinating if it weren’t for the fact the end result is so mind-bogglingly awful.

The indie horror scene does it again, showing the big studios what the horror genre needs. Not all the ideas work as well as they should, but the game delivers a unified vision that still gets under your skin.

Project Nightmares Case 36: Henrietta Kedward is a horrifying dip into the labyrinthine and haunted mind of a tortured soul. The journey will test your tolerance for frights as well as your patience for constant death. Still, the two-man development team at NC Studio built a horrific world that'd be rather immersive making it a supremely noteworthy indie title if it weren't for the hurdles of overcoming impactful bugs.
