Nightmare Frontier is set in an alternate version of 19th-century America, following a mysterious event that has blurred the line between reality and a terrifying unknown dimension. The world is now overrun by monstrous beings known as Dreadweavers, emerging from the dark abysses of this horror dimension. These creatures are the physical manifestations of humanity's deepest fears. In this nightmarish setting, players assume the role of the ringleader, who, despite the overwhelming terror, sees a glimmer of hope for survival. Leading a group of scavengers, you'll venture deep into the city, risking everything to uncover the truth behind the "Nightmare" and scavenge for valuable loot.
