Release Date Set for “Through The Nightmares”

Whoa, okay, so you know how sometimes you just stumble across something that sticks in your brain for, like, no obvious reason? That’s what just happened with this game called Through The Nightmares. Anyway, Pingle Studio and Sandman Team finally revealed when it’s hitting the Nintendo Switch.

So picture this: there’s this corrupted deity named Morpheus who’s decided it’s cool to trap kids in never-ending nightmares. Yeah, not creepy at all. Enter Sandman. No, not the Metallica song, but this guardian spirit dude who’s gotta dive into this totally surreal dream world to save them. A bit like jumping into someone else’s fever dream, honestly.

Here’s the gist — they’re saying it’s gonna be this merciless, precision platformer kind of ordeal. Over 45 levels, three chapters. Imagine facing off against stuff that used to freak you out as a kid. Like… remember those creepy vibes from forests at dusk? Or that thing where you thought monsters lived under your bed? Yup, all in there.

Oh, and Sandman can change sizes! I mean, why not, right? Up or down, depending on whether he’s wigglin’ through tight spots or trying to master new physics quirks. Like, altering momentum and all that jazz.

Now, here’s a quick rundown of what they’re shouting about:

– Size-Shifting mayhem: Shrink, grow, do what you must to dodge traps and navigate secrets. Sounds intense but a bit like Alice in Wonderland. Or not.

– Challenge City: Here comes the hardcore platforming with instant respawns. Yikes. And there’s a quirky checkpoint system – collect something or other to decide your spawn point. Like gaming meets scavenger hunt?

– Handcrafted Dreamscapes: Fancy jargon, huh? Dozens of levels based on cool stuff like Nordic and medieval themes. And suburban vibes, for a mix.

– Reactive Environment Stuff: So, you can tweak the dream world using Sandman’s skills. Means more secrets. Everyone loves secrets… Or maybe just me.

– Collectibles with a Backstory: Grab personal items (because, why not?) to piece together what happened with Morpheus. A bit of mystery, I guess.

– Eye Candy and Earworms: Striking low-poly visuals paired with haunting tunes to keep your brain tingling. Ugh, chills already.

Mark your calendars — June 19, 2025. Nintendo eShop, worldwide release. Ready to face your childhood nightmares? Not me, but folks are excited!

Oh, there’s a demo trailer floating around too. I should check that out — or not. I got distracted, whoops!
