Short Nightmares by Martin_Monosys
Short, creepy game, guess you can figure out what to do on your own. Playthrough only takes about 2 or 3 minutes when you know what to do... :)
Link to theme : Every dream only lasts 10 seconds, but they can go on forever if you don't "escape", much like in a fever. ...
Controls : W-A-S-D for movement, Mouse to look around
Have fun and sweet dreams!

The images and sounds, along with the text, definitely give you a very cool and creepy mood.
I got to "3rd night" and had no idea what I was supposed to be doing. It just kept repeating.
Mouse sensitivity was REALLY high for me, making it kinda hard to do. Not sure why using the mouse for looking was even necessary here.
(10/10)
This was a simple and straightforward game, but it was VERY well-executed, stylish, and polished... obviously I lvoed the graphics... the sound fit very well too, and overall the mood really sucked me in.
Needless to say, it scared the crap out of me, but I think it ended a bit on a low note and that it could have used a slightly "stronger" ending.
Good luck!
@esayitch : You are right about the ending, I ran out of time.
Anyway, thank you all for playing and commenting, I hope I creeped you out a little bit! :)
@Lokarunith:The end is weak,I'm sorry... :(
Needed a better ending though, IMO.
you could really expand on this, but there would be great to have some way of knowing what's up and down. so maybe something to help you distinguish the ground and sky.
But seriously, it's about the mood you get, and it did creep you out, didn't it?!?
So ok, maybe not, hold it against me, that's just fine... :)
In Night 4, I had to strafe-jump to finish it into the 10 seconds, is it normal ?
Despite the confuse third and fourth nights (which were basically random walking along the walls to find the exits) I liked this game a lot!
Colors/graphics and sound were VERY effective in creating the perfect mood and the ending was VERY good (in a sense that I was very happy to see it and it wouldn't give me nightmares as the rest of the game xD).
Thanks for the opportunity to play such a good piece! =)
I got pretty lost in there, I'm not sure if it is the gamma, but I got completely stuck at the fourth dream.
Maybe it would be a nice idea that you got switched between different dreams when the timer ended, instead of just being sent back to the beginning of your current dream?
Thanks for the game, and have a video review:

Nice style and mood!
The ending had me scratching my head - it taunts me to replay but when I tried the win condition wasn't cleared - but I won't complain too much :P
