Inside Neighborhood Nightmare

The garage is your emergency arsenal.

Turn household tools into a survival plan through weapon behaviors and elemental interactions.

The everyday friction.

You're an ordinary person in an unreasonable situation. A military loadout would miss the point. The fun comes from making do, finding an unexpected combination, and realizing that something built for a quieter afternoon might be useful against the thing crossing your lawn.

A different way through.

Neighborhood Nightmare explores improvised weapons with distinct behaviors and elemental reactions. The prototype includes weapon state and synergy systems for interactions such as water, electricity, fire, and cold. We're using that foundation to make discovery change how you handle a threat, with combinations that invite experimentation during a run.
