Indie horror point and click games

Bad Dream: Series is a collection of free indie point and click horror games. With a unique art style and unsettling scenarios, the games are short dreamlike experiences connected through odd characters and haunting sounds.

Strange worlds

The Bad Dream: Series are brief horror stories based around themes like butchers or hospitals, connected by a shared pencil and paper graphical style. Gameplay consists of fairly typical point and click elements: finding items, following clues and exploring. With a distinctive pencil and paper style and bizarre characters, the games offer up immersive experiences which are sadly limited. Linear plots and simplistic puzzles mean extra play throughs and level exploration are unrewarding. Each separate version only contains around 20 minutes of playtime, making them feel like demos rather than full releases. Despite these limitations, the Bad Dream: Series of games impress thanks to their creativity and overall tone rather than gameplay. Fans of more mainstream point and click games with extended plots may be disappointed, but those who prefer art direction will enjoy the collection.

Hand drawn

Bad Dream: Series are an interesting set of indie point and click games. While they should not be considered full games due to their short length and lack of plot, the design choices create a lasting impression.
