Nightmare Creatures - The Overshadowed PS1 Horror | Pepptrospective

Before Resident Evil and Silent Hill became the face of PlayStation horror, Nightmare Creatures was hacking and slashing its way through 90s London with a Victorian gothic flair. This cult classic blended brutal melee combat, grotesque monster design, and a blood-soaked aesthetic that was ahead of its time. But despite its early promise, it never got the recognition it perhaps deserved.

In this video, I dive into the game's grisly back alleys to revisit its ambitious mechanics, atmosphere, and bizarre legacy – from its horror influences to its place in the survival horror timeline. Was it a flawed gem? A misfire? Or just unlucky enough to be released in the shadow of bigger monsters?
