Gameplay and mechanics
- You rely on three core abilities: Size‑Shifting (alter your size to squeeze through gaps, change momentum, and manipulate objects), Downward Strike (a mid‑air smash that breaks floors and activates persistent changes to levels), and the Checkpoint Flask (placeable checkpoints that grant three resurrections before sending you back to the start).
- Instant respawns keep the action flowing-death is frequent, but trying again is immediate, encouraging learning through repetition.
- Many challenges require combining all abilities and mastering timing, since hazards often sync to the game’s rhythm and soundtrack.

Level design and content
- The game offers 45 handcrafted levels across three chapters and six distinct locations inspired by Nordic folklore, suburban fears, and ruined castles. Environments are shaped around individual children’s nightmares, and hidden collectibles reveal their stories.
- Levels are filled with secrets and optional challenges: collectors and completionists will have plenty to hunt for, and finding lost items connects to the broader narrative about Morpheus and the children.

Enemies, hazards, and atmosphere
- Ordinary objects are twisted into traps, massive monsters stalk sections of the dream, and many threats demand precise timing and pattern recognition.
- The reactive environment means your size changes and strikes permanently alter parts of a level, making exploration feel tactile and puzzle‑driven.
- Visually the game uses striking low‑poly art, supported by a haunting original soundtrack that reinforces the rhythmic challenge and eerie mood.

Who it’s for
- Players who like tough platformers (think timing, pattern learning, and trial‑and‑error) will appreciate the design. If you prefer long checkpoints and forgiving encounters, the game’s difficulty may feel brutal at times, but the checkpoint flask and instant respawns mitigate frustration.
- Completionists and explorers will enjoy the dozens of secrets and the story fragments revealed by retrieving lost items.

Verdict
Through the Nightmares is a stylish, uncompromising platformer with clever mechanics and a strong identity. Its mix of size‑shifting physics, environment manipulation, and rhythm‑based timing creates memorable challenges. If you’re ready to die a lot, learn quickly, and dig into the dream’s secrets, this title is worth a try. Through the Nightmares can be downloaded for players who want to experience its nightmarish world firsthand.
