🌙 NIGHTMARE REALMS 🌙
Fall asleep. Wake up somewhere worse.🕯 WHAT IS NIGHTMARE REALMS?
Nightmare Realms pulls you out of your world and into the Waiting Hall.From there, doors lead into a chain of hand-built Nightmare Realms. Each realm has its own quest, its own hunter and its own way out.Find what the realm hides, stay out of sight, and reach the exit before it reaches you.There is no digging your way out.Nothing in the realms can be broken or placed. You have to PLAY IT.✨ FEATURES
EVERY SOUND MATTERS. EVERY CORNER COULD BE YOUR LAST.🧠 A REAL BRAIN IN EVERY CREATURE
They listen, search, follow your trail, open doors and check hideouts. These hunters aren't just wandering around. They're looking for you.🚪 HIDEOUTS
Wardrobes, lockers, crates and vents. Close yourself inside and peek out through the gap. But be careful: if a hunter sees you enter, it might come looking.🏃 SLOW, TENSE MOVEMENT
Walk carefully to stay quiet. Sprint when you need to escape. Stamina is limited, so don't waste it.🔍 VAGUE QUESTS
No glowing arrows telling you where to go. Explore, observe and figure things out yourself. Stuck for 5 minutes? A hint appears.😱 PERSONALIZED JUMPSCARES
Each creature has its own animations. Get caught and experience a face-to-face jumpscare. Other players see it too.🌎 THEY FOLLOW YOU HOME
Outside the realms, hunters can climb walls, crawl through holes, open doors and even break blocks to reach you.👥 MULTIPLAYER HORROR
Play with friends. Everyone gets their own realm instance, while the Waiting Hall is shared. The outside world pauses while everyone is inside.❓ BUILT-IN HELP MENU
Press F6 to open a help menu explaining every command in plain words.🚪 ENTER THE NIGHTMARE
Ready to find out what's waiting for you?About five minutes into your first day, something will pull you out of your world. You don't get to choose when.⚠️ WARNING: Once it takes you, there is no digging your way out. Stay alert from the first moment.💡 ADVICE: Use those first five minutes to learn the controls. Press F6 for the help menu, and save your stamina for the chase.⚠️ SPOILER WARNING ⚠️
The following sections reveal realms, hunters and gameplay mechanics. Open them only if you dare.🏰 THE REALMS (SPOILERS)
Ten doors. Ten nightmares. Every realm has something waiting for you.
🚪 The Waiting Hall
The quiet hub where every nightmare begins. Its doors lead everywhere else.🐔 The Coop Fields
Open farmland, rows of coops and a storm cellar. Nowhere to hide for long.🥕 The Burrow Depths
Root cellars, carrot crates and tunnels dug by something with claws.🍳 The Clockwork Kitchen
A kitchen that never stops cooking, and someone very hungry.🧸 The Stuffed Hollow
A cabin full of toys and stuffing. Some of the toys are watching.🏠 Hollow Street
An empty town street where every door might be the wrong one.🏥 The Hollow Ward
Long corridors, flickering lights and a patient who never got discharged.🚰 The Sump Tunnels
Flooded pipes and narrow vents. Something crawls through them faster than you.🎡 The Sunken Carnival
A drowned fairground where the rides still turn.🔥 The Ash Vault
The last door. Bring everything you've learned.

A rabbit that follows the smell of carrots. Use that against it.🐻 Mama Bear
The biggest of them all, at 3 blocks tall. Don't touch the teddies.🐔 Penny
She throws an egg at you to stun you. Mash J to recover.👵 Agatha
She knows where you've been.💉 Reaper Nurse
She does her rounds. Don't be in the hallway when she turns the corner.🎭 The Phantom

🧠 HOW THE HUNTERS THINK (SPOILERS)
- They hear footsteps and sprinting, and they go to check the noise.
- They search the last place they saw you, then widen the search.
- If they saw you hide, they come and look into the hideout for 5 seconds, then move on if they don't spot you.
- They open doors. Some will break through walls.
- They won't follow you into water. They wait on the shore instead.
- Out in your world, they try the easiest way first: walk, then climb, crawl, open a door, and break blocks last (never obsidian or bedrock). Combinations work.
- If there's no way at all, they get as close as they can and wait.
- No spawn killing: You always get a moment
🎮 CONTROLS
| KEY / ACTION | FUNCTION |
|---|---|
| F6 | Help menu (every command explained) |
| Use | Hide in / leave a hideout |
| U | Open the hideout door slightly and peek |
| J | Mash to recover when Penny's egg stuns you |
| Sprint | Run using stamina. Save it for the chase. |
💡 SURVIVAL TIPS (SPOILERS)
- Walking is quiet. Sprinting is not.
- A hideout only works if nobody saw you climb in.
- Peek, don't stare. Close the gap when it turns toward you.
- Water is your friend.
- Read the hints slowly. They are vague on purpose.
👥 MULTIPLAYER
Nightmare Realms supports multiplayer horror adventures.
- Install the mod on the server and on every client.
- Each player gets their own copy of a realm. The Waiting Hall is shared.
- Everyone nearby sees a jumpscare when someone gets caught.
- The overworld pauses while all players are inside the realms, so nothing happens to your base while you're away.
