Why Play Pocket Nightmares?

Pocket Nightmares' is an RPG with a delightfully twisted story that takes place in the early 1900's of Germany.

Under the guise of a humble Toymaker, a new Master of Puppets has arrived that snatches away the souls of children to be used as animated toys in his twisted board game.

Become a Master of Puppets yourself and use Soul Puppets, fleshcrafted dolls animated by the power of your own spirit, to take on the game's challenging battles that allow using your wits instead of just grinding.

But fear not if this intimidates you, there is a Casual difficulty setting for those who feel less inclined to take a repeated beating.

From seductive Succubi to adorable Ghosts this game has hundreds of varied Collectible Monsters that could be cute, attractive or downright grotesque. It takes a serious amount of work to unlock and collect them all, so a hardcore, OCD gamer won't get bored here anytime soon!

There are lots of cool things with your monsters here. These are some examples:

• Form your creatures into a party and battle through the game's story and sidequests.
• Equip them with different armaments scattered throughout the game and enhance those armaments with Smithing.
• Possess a specific monster to grant it more power and take on its appearance.
• Modify their colors and additional skills as they grow in power.
• Tattoo monsters to enhance various attributes.
• Grind them up into rare items or meals for your other creatures if they are of no use to you.
• Use them to breed new and higher quality creatures.
• Rebirth them at the maximum level for an attribute bonus and start all over again.
• Send them away on adventures to collect valuable rewards while you do other things.
• Not satisfied with all of that? Then create your very own creature for FREE from the ground up. You can choose its artwork or submit your own!
