About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a dose of interactive horror with Nightmare III: The Sequel! If you're into that 90s horror movie vibe, complete with VHS and all, this expansion is for you. Here, we return to haunt everyone with Anne de Chantraine, a witch who, poor thing, was unjustly condemned. We insert the tape, press play, and dive into a 60-minute adventure where dice rolls and fate cards set the pace. It's a modern witch hunt where the spell might backfire on the caster, and fun is guaranteed with more dice and twists. The original game already brought this mix of board game and video, and this sequel elevates the experience with new challenges and more scares. Perfect for those who want a different game night, full of suspense and with that retro touch we love. The atmosphere is tense, the gameplay is straightforward, and the video tape interaction adds a special touch that few games can replicate.
