Overview:

Nyghtmare: The Ninth King is a dark-fantasy, classic-vania, action-platform game that aims to make an authentic Game Boy [COLOR] retro feel that is as close as possible to the original. [NES Castlevania and MegaMan!]

From frustrating enemy placements to nigh-impossible leaps of faith, whip your way through Mortemire's roads, meet NPCs along the way, and unleash the world from its nightmare. 

See the prequel story Nyghtmare: Grave Betrayal here, and learn what caused the Kingdom's ruin.

Plot:

The forgotten Kingdom of Mortemire reappeared centuries later, seemingly out of nowhere, it was at this point that a young woman named Aryn awoke alongside the Kingdom, and surprisingly, she seemed unaffected by the unknown call.

With only an iron whip as a weapon, Aryn must make her way through the decaying streets and unravel the mystery that is the Kingdom and its calls.
