In Through the Nightmares, you step into the role of the Sandman, a mysterious being tasked with rescuing children trapped in a web of terrifying dreams. These aren’t just bad dreams, they’re reflections of each child’s deepest fears, ruled over by the merciless god Morpheus. Set across a series of surreal and visually striking realms, each level in this game is a descent into the subconscious where only precision, timing, and courage will carry you through.

This isn't your average platformer. Every level in Through the Nightmares is created to test your reflexes and patience with intricate traps, deadly enemies, and ever-changing environments. The controls are tight and responsive, designed to encourage mastery. Death comes swiftly, but respawns are instant, and with a clever checkpoint system powered by collectible sand, you decide where to place your safety net, if you even want one.

Through the Nightmares features an unique size-shifting mechanic. You can grow or shrink at will, altering your movement speed, jump height, and how you interact with the environment. Become small to squeeze through tight spaces or grow large to crush obstacles and make powerful downward strikes. Every form changes how you experience the level, opening up new strategies and solutions.

With over 40 levels, three major chapters, hidden secrets, optional speedrun challenges, and a climactic final confrontation with Morpheus, Through the Nightmares offers plenty for completionists and challenge-hunters alike. Every level holds new discoveries and deeper layers of story, revealing the trauma and fears each child faces and what it takes to overcome them.

This is a game that demands precision and perseverance. It’s built for players who embrace difficulty and value skill-based progression. But it’s also a game with heart; one that explores fear, growth, and the resilience of the human spirit through dreamlike storytelling and smart, satisfying gameplay.
