On Steam, the horror game “Nightmare of Decay” was released on May 3rd, a retro-style first-person shooter. It costs only €3.99, but 98% of the 569 reviews are positive. Reviewers see the game as a tribute to Resident Evil 1, which was released 26 years ago.
What kind of game is it?
- Nightmare of Decay is a classic first-person shooter that is clearly heavily inspired by Resident Evil. The horror classic from Capcom was released in 1996 for the PlayStation and a year later for the Saturn and PC.
- In Nightmare of Decay, you wake up in a villa with zombies, psychotic cultists, and other things you’d better avoid. The player solves puzzles, collects countless keys, and is repeatedly startled by the damn zombies lurking and attacking him.
- With an arsenal of weapons but limited resources, you fight for survival: the constant scarcity is part of the game’s charm, as most of the time you try to avoid fights to conserve ammunition.
