Nitemare-3D - Action/Adventure for the Whole Family!

At last, an exciting 3D action game intended for the whole family! You won't find a drop of blood in this game which is set in a 50's horror movie style. But there's more... As winner of the 1995 Ziff-Davis European Shareware award for Best Game, Nitemare-3D for Windows brings the excitement of first-person perspective action games to Windows for the first time!

You play the part of the hero, Hugo, in search of your sweetheart Penelope who has been kidnapped by the evil Dr. Hamerstein and imprisoned in his haunted house guarded by his variously nasty minions. Included are a large number of puzzles, making it more of a 3D adventure than just a simple shoot-em-up. Various cheat modes in the full registered version allow you to emphasize the puzzle-solving or action aspects of the game.

The game contains elements of humor, such as when you come face to face with a seemingly invincible monster reception committee, only to watch them reveal a secret passageway by performing a "Thriller" style moonwalk dance, at your correct bidding of course. Even Count Dracula makes an appearance, transforming into a vampire bat before your very eyes.

There is a constantly updating automatic map generator which is always on screen. Powered by "magic eyes" which you collect during the game, this highly useful map makes navigation a snap and can even tell you if a monster is lurking around the next corner or behind a sliding bookcase in front of you.
