Nightmare Neighborhood is a trick-or-treating roguelike visual novel where you must manage your resources, wear different costumes to double dip houses, all to collect as much candy as you can without getting eaten by the monsters who inhabit the Neighborhood.


Story

You are a trick-or-treater who finds herself in "Nightmare Neighborhood" — where every house she visits is inhabited by a real monster. The only way to get back home is to go through the final house — but without enough candy to distract it, the monster inside will eat her!

Gameplay

This game is a non-linear roguelike visual novel where you choose your own path through the Neighborhood while managing your resources. All the while, the clock ticks closer to midnight, and each move you make matters.

Made in one month for the 2026 Spooktober Game Jam.
