"rented nightmare" is a short retro PSX-style indie horror game.


Story

Having a girlfriend who lives very far away is a challenge. After our car breaks down, we have to take a series of buses with many transfers to see her. Since the buses don't run at night, halfway through the trip we rent a cool looking trailer at a trailer park. Now we just need to survive the night...

Approximate playing time: 15-20 minutes

(way longer than my previous games)

Loved it!, made a video on it! 

got me twice w that first jumpscare lmao im ashamed. i replayed it and i still got jumpcared

boring asf jumpscare simulator

I saw this and thought it looked interesting. Some of the little scares made me jump .

I jest LUV salami pizza!

In seriousness... Good game. I loved the music at the start. Very sassy. The comments about the relationship with the girlfriend left me curious... added some depth to the main character, although if it would've added more if it had been more woven into the story. (like an internal struggle, not like "oh no my girlfriend is the killer!") Nice though. Thanks for sharing.

that pizza jumpscare was golden!  :D 10/10!

Nice game! the pizza jumpscare is so hard 

Very good game! 7/10

Great game though I am slightly salty that you didn't make the option to pick up the gun (or the flashlight). I definitely liked the retro vibes though, made me feel like I was in an old cheesy horror movie (which isn't a bad thing at all). Only thing that I'll say is that it's not clear at all why Joe is just face planting at the end there. Like, there is the struggle minigame and then boom, knocked out magically. That tiny detail aside, this was a great little experience so good job dev(s)!

Nicely done. A couple of jump scares really got me and I enjoyed the music and atmosphere of the game. I wish the mystery lasted  a little longer before all was revealed but still-- this was a well-made bit of horror and I look forward to seeing your progression as a developer! My No Commentary playthrough here:

This is a nice horror game. I enjoyed the jumpscares and the atmosphere in the game. The spiriting in this game is not that fast, it a bit faster than walking but it still felt slow. 4.5/5

Good horror game.

Good Game , the jump scare got me good 😁

Played 2 of your games here including this one, and I enjoyed both! keep up the good work dev :)

Joe had a heart attack

I wanted to ask if u are looking for a translator for your games. I'm a beginner Brazilian Portuguese translator and I'm looking for indie devs to collaborate :)

I'm wondering, where did you get all the assets for this game? Or did you make everything yourself?

This was an awesome game my dude! I enjoyed the story and the random mechanics, it felt pretty damn full for being shorter. That ending absolutely killed me, hilarious! I really enjoyed this game, keep on creating and making more. I recommend completely. Here is my gameplay video, sub and help my channel grow everyone!

This Game Was Interesting. Loved The Intro & Such really brought the vibes 

Comments below clip:

You gotta visit your GF, the one you wonder about why on Earth you're still together. With a broken down car you have to bus yourself towards her, but at night they don't run. So you rent a trailer for the night, and everybody knows that in trailer parks nothing but good happens, right? You go to bed and then wish you hadn't. There's Joe and there's you. Who's going to make it to the end...?

Solid game. I didn’t run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags, so kudos to all involved and thank you for making this interesting game! I had tons of fun playing it.

Nice game! Looking forward to your next project... :)

thanks!

Good game, but can you make a time betwen events a little shorter, like between the moment of throwing the backpack and the decision to reheat the pizza

Hi! I really enjoyed this short horror adventure. Great atmosphere.

I'm a video editor, and I'm currently trying to build a trailer portfolio. Would you mind if I tried cutting a trailer for your game? For free, of course, and you don't have to use it if you don't like the end result!

sure u can! can you give me some contact?
