About

Project Nightmares Case 36: Henrietta Kedward is a first person horror game where you navigate procedurally generated nightmares tied to a cursed object. You play as a subject linked to a machine that forces you into a sleep-induced investigation of a haunted toy connected to a vengeful woman’s past. Survival elements mix with puzzle solving as you uncover twisted memories and avoid unpredictable scares in environments that shift with each playthrough. The game leans heavily into atmospheric tension with dimly lit spaces and sudden audiovisual jumps. Community feedback notes the procedural structure keeps replayability high though some find the puzzle logic inconsistent.

Released in 2021, it holds a 72% on Metacritic balancing niche charm with uneven execution.

Storyline

A group of scientists dedicated to studying the paranormal has developed a machine that can induce a patient with psychic abilities into a dream state, linking them to a malignant or cursed object. Project Nightmares is in charge of investigating such objects, discovering the history behind them, and putting a stop to the evil they embody. In the first installment of the game, we will play through the case of Henrietta Kedward. A toy with a dark past provides us with a connection to this malicious old woman; tapping into this connection, we’ll find ourselves in a nightmare set during her lifetime, surrounded by terror and mystery.
