Nightmare in the Dark (bootleg) — About this game

Nightmare in the Dark (bootleg) is an exact registered version in this game family. Nightmare in the Dark makes the grave keeper’s short lantern flames prepare a much larger rolling attack. Repeated hits encase a monster in fire, after which the keeper can carry and throw the ball through others. Positioning the throw across several platforms clears a group, while a wall can stop it before a protected monster. Potions improve movement, flame strength or range. Bosses require the smaller summoned enemies to be turned into ammunition. Learn where a ball will roll before picking it up, then make room for the boss’s next summoned group. Version-specific changes to characters, stages, timing, difficulty, balance, graphics or hidden content are not inferred where the registration does not document them.
