Key Features
- A Cast of Unique Characters and Playstyles – Run rampant with this cast of adorable misfits! Each one of these beast-hunting kids wields a unique weapon along with an unbridled childlike thirst for chaos. Equip magical cooperative abilities and level up with yummy snacks and packed lunches! The demons of the nightmare world may be scary, but they are no match for the terrifying power of friendship and food!
- A New Spooky Adventure Every Time You Play – The “Dynamic AI Director” (or DAD for short) uses procedural level generation and dynamic AI spawning to create a unique experience every playthrough. DAD ensures that your actions, decisions, team, skills, and even your attitude affects the types of terror you will face. No two encounters will be the same!
- Battle Against Terrifying Beasts – These are the bosses of the nightmare world, and their names are only said in hushed whispers. These enormous ancient and terrible BEASTS will hound your every step. Learn their strengths and weaknesses as you face them at the end of each procedural campaign. Every time you defeat a BEAST it will return stronger (and madder) than ever. Only through persistance and teamwork can you send these monsters back to the nightmare world (for good?!) Begone Beast!
- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA A A A A – AAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAA AAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA AAAAAA AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAA AAA A A A A A A
