Nightmare (Incubo)

nice little game

Nice puzzle platformer, some of the puzzles gave me Limbo vibes, but just a couple. Quite enough of them are unique and entertaining. Actually I replayed this game after several years and still enjoyed it. The first boss fight may turn out a bit tedious, though, so if you are stuck, watch a walkthrough :)
P.S. All achievements are story-related, there is none which is "hidden" or difficult to get.

I did not finish playing this game out of frustration. The execution of this games sucks. It feels like the developer of this game did not feel like testing if the gameplay is enjoyable. My character has to die like 10 or may be, 20 times before I can get past some levels of the game. Although, the setting of this game is interesting, I cannot recommend the game to anyone, since the gameplay is not enjoyable. It's difficult and you'll get frustrated. Rather than buying it, watch some youtuber play this game. The story is interesting and you'll enjoy the art, the atmosphere, the animation and not the main thing, that is, playing the game. The enemy is made too fast and catches you before you can think or, if you narrowly miss landing on the next platform. Your timing has to be very precise or else, the boss will catch you. In other words, you have to be expert in platforming. Little spoiler to make my point more understandable. There's a part in the game where you enter a haunted school. At the end of this arc, there's a wall monster. You have to outrun the wall monster and get out of this school through a small sliding hall. If you start running a few seconds late, the monster will catch you. You have to push boxes and you're few seconds late in pushing the box and climbing to next platform. BOOM! The monster catches you. Jumping into the hole is not made easy either. I lost that level like 30 times before finally making out. By then, I'm too exhausted to enjoy it anymore. Don't waste your money on it. Watch the gameplay on YouTube instead.

dark souls but side scrolling with kid protagonist.


*how could the first boss is the hardest boss?

A young boy trapped in his own nightmare, try to find his way out and solving the problem on his dream.

Niceee Game and i'm gonna record it for my youtube content, stay tune guys!

I quite enjoy playing the game and the storyline is quite interesting and the ghost is so funny.

Thank you mother for buying me this game, Now I can sleep tight and not afraid to this darkness world. I know everything have a second chance right? Love you mom :D

I changed my review from positive to negative, this is my reason
1. The choosing language bahasa Indonesia is nothing
2. Terrible control, worst every stage especially in grandma puzzle
3. Many bugs such flying box wtf

i hope developers fix this game

The premise is a good one; throw a small child into a world of monsters ripped from various folk tales. Unfortunately the execution is so poor that I simply can’t recommend this.

The game is actually fairly well presented and could perhaps work as a creepy 2D puzzle platformer if it wasn’t for the terrible game design. Like Limbo but worse, Incubo is a game in which you have to die to progress. Almost every section with an enemy or puzzle requires you to lose numerous times to bypass it. Often you can’t even see the solution to an area until you’ve died several times. This trial and error gameplay is made all the worse by the sluggish movement and patchy checkpoints which require you to play sections of the game over and over. Some sections also seem to require very specific actions or precise movements to beat, which leads to frustration. This is death to a horror game too, as the repetition kills any tension built by the visuals and sound effects.

If you disliked the seemingly random nature of Limbo’s gameplay then you’ll surely dislike Incubo.

Well done on the 2D indie game. Really recommend it to those peeps who seeks puzzle solving games with a well told story lines. Everything is well laid out and lots of unexpected shocking moments. Once again, well done to the developers =)

Gambarnya bagus, animasinya keren, seru!
Ceritanya rada serem tapi lumayan lah menghibur. Terus lagunya juga ngimbangin gamenya banget, keren!

very good puzzle games, you must follow all the instruction there to beat the stage!
the atmosphere, characters, art, bgm and storyline i love it~
worth the money, you must tryy it's just 5 bucks

buy this game, beat the stage and report here
but there's still found a little bug, hope the devs fix faster.

Support the Devs!~

tolerated this for 36 minutes.
every cutscene video is destroyed by bitrate, makes them look liek it's being viewed through a tennis racket.
controls are stiff, and unresponsive.
every single time you die, or start a level and your character automatically interacts with something ( which is weird, since there's literally an interact button ) you can't skip it. It happens every single time, so when he looks at a photo - every single time you pass by here again if you die, he does it again. fun.
the jumping works when it feels liek it after leaving a platform, fun.
the " puzzles " so far are not explained well at all, and just result in you trial and erroring your way through em. Did you think this game offered a shred of flexibility in solving things? NOPE! there's only a single way to do things, a very- precisely set up way to do them. That sounds normal, but in a game where you are platforming - and die from freakin fall damage at a height of 7 feet? What the heck.
So whatever, got through the first screen. Second one starts with a kid saying, oh a Yurei should be in this picture.

1. what's a yurei
2. how does he even know what one is
3. why does he know one belongs in the picture? Nice logical leaps here.
So you get to the top of the levl, and oh my gosh, he spots a yurei. It then chases you down at lightning speeds, and kills you the instant it grazs your enormous hitbox. Super fun.
You're supposed to move two boxes, so you can climb up and back afterwards, but if you didn't realize the yurei speeds at you faster than you can climb a massive ladder, you repeat it. And yes, every single time, he stops at the picture to comment how it needs a yurei in it.

So you're actually supposed to lower both boxes and when you climb down the ladder, jump off to the left and fall down platforms ( at a height that absolutely is enough to kill you, who would thnk to make a leap of faith when the kid dies after jumping off a rope ( a literal entry " puzzle " yes, you can die from jumping a little too high off the rope, your only means of escaping that area )

So with that in mind, why would ANYONE think to just jump off, and fall down to the ground? NOBODY would.

So whatever, two ares down. now here is where I quit.
You are in a field, and there's trees. You can hide in said trees. Okay, whatever simple enough.
You walk a few feet, and some zombie, bloody lady thing, whatever it is - is walking SUPER slowly beyond the trees you can hide in.
1. you can't jump over here
2. if you get too close, she bends over backwards, and steamrolls into you at blinding speed
3. ^ you can't jump over her when she does this.
4. You can't hide in a tree when she gets alerted ( for reasons )
5. you have to walk slower than she does ( which is incredibly slow ) and hide in each tree, because every once in awhile, she spazzes out, and looks behind her.

^ here's my issue. this isn't fun. I spent 10 minutes waiting for her slow a$$ to make her way to the right, hiding in each tree i saw, waiting for her to turn around, and then moving on.
Until , I got to the last tree where she spazzed out ANYWAYS, blew all the lights up, and then steam rolled me into oblvion.
this was TEN MINUTES of slowly inching along to just get GOTCHA'D at the end .

this game is horribly designed, not often do i ALT + F4 out of a game because it ticked me off so badly.
this is one of those games.

I recommend this to absolutely nobody.

Good game with good story.
The puzzles are unique.
The platforming is very hard, though worth beating.

Buy it. It's just 5 bucks.

Despite some minor issues with the platforming that the developer is working to fix, this game is a hidden gem, and really deserves more attention.

I really enjoyed the mix of the horror atmosphere with the cartoon style. Some of the enemies in the game were quite shocking, they managed to catch me off guard. I also appreciate the combination of the almost painted environments with the hand drawn style of the characters. It gives the game a wonderful, dream-like quality, almost like a twisted fairy tale. I wish there was more to the game, and I hadn't just finished it. I wanted to see more ghosts taken from different folklore.

Overall, it was a wonderful experience. The ending really surprised me, and was much more interesting than I was expecting when I started this game. It was a fantastic twist on what I thought was going on with the story, and made for a wonderful climax.

I managed to beat this game, because I am a true masochist! I really did love all the designs and it was creepy in some parts! I loved what the developer did on some of the creatures! Truly creative! Thankfully they reduced the difficulty for the clown fight! (I pushed through before the patch went into effect)
I gotta say, some of the puzzles were super fun! Worth the money!! Even tho the story was a bit confusing! Get the game! Don’t watch ppl play it! :D this dev needs money!

Totally unplayable with keyboard :/ Some parts almost impossible to pass through. Devs should test it better before adding such control scheme.

I wanna make this short and sweet. First and foremost the art style is absolutely gorgeous. It has a very bleak and depressing color palette which is very reminiscent of games like Fran bow. Personally I think it's amazing.

Next off, the platforming which is the bulk of the gameplay is incredibly easy. You won't have to think much to solve the puzzles either so if you're in it for some difficult puzzles look elsewhere.

Finally, the story and characters might be a bit obscure as I'm American and the game appears to be a translation, so I felt as though I'm missing the lore. However at the price that the game is at, I think it's well worth the time and money. 6/10

Here's my gameplay: https://youtu.be/HcFLkotd9Fs

Ni game tegang dan horrornya dapet. Susah-susah gampang sih, mesti bener2 konsentrasi dan merhatiin clue yg di kasih buat ngelewatin setiap stagenya, tapi seru! Nice! GoodJob!

I've played the demo before, probably one of the best puzzle games I've played, love the element of surprise, story, bgm, art, etc.. love all of them.

As I just bought the full version right before typing this review, I'll go and turn off the light, put on my headset, and prepare myself to scream like a little girl as I play this game
