Nightmare of Decay is a massive homage and a big love letter to the classic survival games from the 90s. If you grew up through the 80/90/00's then you will love some of the references this game has to offer. I won't dare spoil any of it but if you grew up playing games like Resident Evil on the Playstation then you'll enjoy this game.

It's really hard for me to say anything bad about this. You can tell the CheckMaty Dev team put a lot of love into this game. They included additional challenges and bonus content that you will be familiar with in the games they are inspired from. It doesn't feel like a last-minute thought.

This game won't have any groundbreaking elements in its story, gameplay, etc. But it doesn't have to. This game knows exactly what it is and gives you a great experience. It's a short game but I have zero bad experiences. It's a game that does a lot of things right. Its horror element is good. It can be suspenseful. And have some memorable moments.

This game is such a great change from the typical asset flip "horror" games that floods steam. For the old timers, it can give you a great nostalgic experience. And for younger people, it can be a good challenging experience.

Play it.
