Very nice little old school horror style of a game and funny easter eggs/references and nice puzzles. game is scary but got nice amount of humor sometimes too and it`s cheap. easily 7/10 on that game.

This game is definitely worth your time although it does have a very short run time. The environments and puzzles are reminiscent of classic PS1 horror and I liked that, but where this game really didn't work for me was the combat. Like in many horror games the combat in nightmare of decay is quite bare, which would be fine on it's own but you are frequently met with combat encounters that can't be avoided including several boss fights which lose a lot of their appeal when you realise it's just a case of slowly walking around an area, realoading your weapons and hoping you have enough resources left to brute force the enemy. The combat isn't a fleshed out enough mechanic to require much more skill or strategy than that and therefore I feel as if the combat should have either been made more interesting or many of these encounters should have been removed to let the exploration and puzzle solving shine. The gameplay between these sections is good, but the combat is frequent enough to take up a big chunk of the gameplay which is a real shame. Overall, and for the asking price, it's still worth it and I hope to see another game of this style from this developer.

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
