Comments on The Forgotten Nightmare for Android

★★★★☆ tru7h · Sep 4, 2018
A lovely text adventure/interactive fiction game. The biggest issue is that it takes a little while for the story to pick up. This will deter a lot of people I think. However, the gameplay is very fun simply because even when the story is boring, and you are finding nothing interesting, the game does a good job of just making it fun to explore the world. I also have to say that the game occasionally will have some whitty remarks that can be quite funny. One would think this would ruin the atmosphere, but it really doesn't. It just does more justice to what kind of game it really is. You can only make comedy work with a horror game if it's a text adventure.
★★★★★ Reece Letcher · Jun 19, 2026
Worth your time, great game made in a classic style. A story based text based rpg. I'm glad there is a map! Loved it and the message throughout. Great linked resources.
★☆☆☆☆ Jamie · Jul 30, 2017
Looks like a text adventure but ends up being a bible lesson in shoving religious nonsense down your throat. I won't bother playing the sequel.
★☆☆☆☆ Michelle Allman · Oct 7, 2018
If you don't like religion this game is not for you. I liked the game until it became all about Christianity, and being forgiven, blah blah blah. Such a waste of time and load of trash.
★★☆☆☆ zoebehave · Dec 24, 2018
First line of the description should be the preachy truth about this game: it's Christian propaganda. If you dig through the description, FAQs, or in game supplemental information it's made clear, but nothing is above the fold. That aside, the gameplay is clunky and unsatisfying. There are numerous spelling and grammar errors dotted throughout the game text. Commands are often overly complicated, like having to restart vehicle ignition every use. Features might be useful, if more obvious.

Description by Chris Radford Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
You wake up. Upside down. Suspended by your seatbelt in an overturned van.

You don't know where you are. You don't even know who you are.

The Forgotten Nightmare is a modern take on the classic text adventure — rebuilt for players who love story-driven exploration without the frustration.

🗺️ FEATURES
• Open world exploration with a map that draws itself as you discover new areas
• No typing required — commands entered through a clean, modern interface
• Full player control — not just multiple choice
• Richly comedic responses to silly commands (try something weird, go on)
• Christian-themed story with a meaningful narrative

📖 THE STORY
Free yourself from the wreckage and step into a world that feels wrong.

Strangely empty. Quietly hostile. As your memory slowly returns, the
questions multiply: Is this just this town? Or has everything changed?

Whether you grew up with Zork or you've never typed NORTH in your life,

The Forgotten Nightmare meets you where you are.
