Infinitap Games is bringing an enhanced version of Matt Gilgenbach’s 2014 horror game Neverending Nightmares to the PS4 and PS Vita on May 3 in North America and May 4 in Europe. Inspired by its creator’s battle with obsessive compulsive disorder and depression, this surreal is about as psychological as psychological horror can get.
“Through eliciting feelings of darkness and despair and drawing on strong metaphorical undertones, I’m seeking to express my feelings of struggling with mental illness through the game,” explains Gilgenbach in a post on the PlayStation Blog. “While the story isn’t autobiographical, the feelings in the game very much are. Everything in the game was designed to recreate the feelings and thoughts I experienced at my darkest point in my mental health struggles.”
It’s a very personal project that also works as a satisfying and often very frightening horror game. It’s an easy one to recommend, especially with the various upgrades that have been made since the PC release. Neverending Nightmares targets 1080p/60fps on PS4, 60fps on the Vita, and features an improved branching narrative and cross-buy support, all for for $14.99. They’re also giving PlayStation Plus members a 20% discount for the first two weeks following its release.
