MÆRE II: Hypnagogia

MÆRE II: Hypnagogia is the sequel to 2023's MÆRE. The original game was a great success, being awarded the Host's Choice in Scream Jam 2023, as well as ranking 2nd place for best horror game. Over on Newgrounds, it placed 4th in their annual Halloween Spooktacular event. Players were very positive about the game, with some going as far as to call it one of the scariest games they've ever played. The original game can be played here: <a href="<a href="https://chrsgr.itch.io/mare">MÆRE" class="redactor-linkify-object">https://chrsgr.itch.io/mare">MÆRE</a> by Chris Gray</a><span></span> In MÆRE II the objective is to fall asleep in a haunted room. HOLD J to close your eyes. RELEASE J to open them. Keep your EYES CLOSED and FEAR levels low to fall asleep. If you hear something in the dark it will raise your FEAR levels, as will seeing an entity. It is difficult to fall asleep if you are afraid. So make sure you keep your FEAR level low. You can reduce your FEAR level by looking around the area where ou heard the noise coming from, this will reassure you that the area is safe. Use A and D KEYS to look around. Ghosts thrive on attention. So if you do see something that should not be there. Don't pay attention to it and eventually it will leave you alone. When asleep you may dream. Nothing can hurt you in your head. But you may still feel the sensation of pain. Controls W and S Keys: Navigate the Menu J Key: Select from menu A and D Keys: Look around the room Hold J: Close your eyes Release J: Open your eyes K Key: Take Diazepam MÆRE II builds upon the original concept and addresses the key criticisms of the game. Unlike in MÆRE I, the events in MÆRE II are randomised meaning that each play through should be unique. It is also possible to be killed by the ghosts, should you allow your fear level to rise too high.
