Nightmare

Nightmare is a dystopian FPS where you take control of a Machinangel to incinerate hordes of synthetic demons. Leverage the power of time control, nuclear fission and demonic seals to ascend to digital heaven.

Reviews:

'Free shooter that looks a little like the Build engine played with a broken graphics card…' - BluesNews

☣️ Why the hack:

"We've all suspected that Nightmare was more than just a distraction from the technocratic hellscape for a long while now.
We've allowed ourselves to get addicted to it, strung along by its fast paced insane gore. But that's gone on long enough.
I was a willing participant in this shit, I loved it. But after gaining access to Nightmares source files by hacking alibaba.government.com, I've uncovered something sinister.
From what I've seen, I can confirm that the truth is worse than what we suspected. Not only is the government betting on Nightmares leaderboard illegally, but all of the Epochs are predetermined.
But worst of all, the government is using Human Level Wetware to facilitate Machinangel control. Wetware has been fucking illegal globally since the mid 3ks. Bottom line, no one is ascending to digital heaven.
They're prisoners. The fucking government is betting against us, bleeding us dry and cannibalizing us for synthetic parts - and all we do is beg for more." - Unreal66666

☣️ What the hack:

"If we are going to give our attention, qredits and literal minds over to the government. Then we should definitely take our cut of the cheese.
On top of the light-drives of Nightmare that I'm releasing. Each copy comes with a toolkit installed that will allow you to game the system.
Cryosleep, take a hit of ultra-crack and jack-in. Make some fucking money, screw with these greedy fucks and if it collapses the whole system - then fuck it." - Unreal66666

☣️ How the hack:

Do anything within your power to fuck up the leaderboard: Bet on yourself and run up your score, cause the favorite Machinangel avatar to tank, or just generally troll the system.
When you take control of Nightmare the government loses - and that's what we all want.
Hit' em where it hurts - in the wallet!

Grab a copy of the toolkit at the links above. 

Some copies come with a few extra goodies. All qredits will help further fund the development of the toolkit.

You can get a copy of the toolkit in the following packages:

• 🆓 Digital Free: Free to download and play, no spyware, adware or weird shit going on.
• 💲 Digital Thanks: Same copy of the toolkit as the free version. You pay a single qredit to help fund the toolkit.
• 💲 Digital Deluxe: Costs three qredits - gets you an extra weapon mod for Machinangels and an additional Demonic Coroutine.
• 💲 Micro Physical DGTL Extreme+: Costs eight qredits - gets you the same shit thats in the Digital Deluxe version. We also send you a physical download pack with a sticker, a download scratch-off card and an 'evil' figurine for the toolkit at this level.
• 💲📀 Physical Ultra: Costs twenty qredits - gets you an actual light-drive (physical disc) of Nightmare with the toolkit baked in. You'll also get two stickers and your name in the credits of future Strangest.io games.
