A NIGHTMARE’S TRIP follows a creature born of a little boys’ nightmares as they take a quiet Summer vacation for themself.
Adrien is a being of nightmares made manifest, but when they’re not stirring up fears in a young man, they need to do a little something to take care of themself. A little trip to the city is just the right thing to clear the mind of a spirit born of foul dreams, especially when you meet all kinds of wild, wacky beasts and visions along the way. Surely they’re game for a little pachinko or something else fun.
Adrien will find themselves up to all manner of goofy activities and “gay crimes” as they explore the city, and you’ll be there to help them make decisions on what they want to get up to and how they want to react to their new friends and the people they meet. Hopefully you don’t cause too much trouble (or at least don’t get CAUGHT causing too much trouble). And if you play things out right, you just might turn those past nightmares into a pleasant dream made real.
A NIGHTMARE’S TRIP offers a short, but lighthearted (and often touching) story of the good times even our worst nightmares can have. Plus, doesn’t it make our haunting visions just a bit less frightening when you think of them going out and hanging with their best nightmare buddies? Suddenly, my dreams of being mauled to death by ghosts while trying to use the bathroom in a graveyard seem slightly less terrifying.
