Nightmaze

Welcome to 'That time I went to sleep and had to battle my inner demons but then I woke up from being too thirsty', aka Nightmaze.

In this roguelike game, you go about the daily routine of our protagonist:

1. Have a drink.
2. Go to bed.
3. Fight your inner demons in an expansive dream maze filled with traps and maybe also powerups.
4. Reach the end of the labyrinth before you become too thirsty.
5. Cash your leftover HP (Hydro-Points), if any.
6. Buy new drinks.
7. Repeat.
8. Profits.

Controls:

• WASD - Movement
• LMB - Attack where mouse points
• ESC - Pause menu

Tips to survive:

• Your HP slowly depletes over time, there's nothing you can't do about it That's life.
• Another bar fills up as you get hit by your inner demons. If that damage bar fills entirely, you lose a great portion of your HP.
• In the maze, each room is locked upon entering it. Defeat all your troubles within that room to unlock the doors.

There are 4 types of inner demons you will be facing in your dreams, try not to let them get to you!

Additionally to enemies, traps have been scattered inside most rooms. Be careful not to step on them... if you even can!

Finally some good new! You can occasionally find powerups hidden in remote rooms. These powerups allow you to reach DREAM AWARENESS and break the shackles of nightmare paralysis... for a short time.

Reach the goal to wake you refresh and cash your leftover HP.

Many beverages are available for purchase, once you can afford them. Try each one of them, as they provide various bonuses that will aid you in your NIGHTMAZE!!!
