- A long, complex, character driven story that both stands on it's own as well as builds off of the story of the original map. Featuring a colorful cast of characters with distinct personalities, motivations, and inner conflicts.

- Intense darkness and atmosphere through the use of custom textures, sounds, and Optifine features.

- Finely tuned gameplay. Everything from enemy placement, to damage values, to item distribution has been finely tuned so you always feel like you're just barely surviving. You never have too much of anything, but you always have what you need to get by.

- Mirrors. Through the use of mirrors, you will be able to travel back and forth between the real and nightmare worlds at will. Both worlds feature the same locations and layouts, but with differences. Some doors may be locked in the real world that's open in the nightmare world, items might be in one but not the other, as well as enemies.

- Dark Souls x Resident Evil inspired level design. Locations are designed in a way that they loop back in on themselves. You'll constantly be finding locations that lead you to shortcuts, or previously inaccessible areas, in a way that rewards exploration and allows the player to familiarize themselves with the environment, which can let you learn to plan safe travel routes and memorize locations, enemies, and item placements.

- Item management. Those 27 inventory slots you love so much in Minecraft? Forget them. Command blocks are set up so those 27 slots are rendered completely unusable by constantly replacing that slot with a placeholder item. Don't even try to play items in there, or they will be instantly destroyed, possibly breaking the map. You're restricted to your 9 hotbar slots, so you always have to pick and choose what you should take with you.

- Save rooms. Like the classic horror games of the late 90's and early 2000's, this map features save rooms, where you can sleep in a bed to save your progress, as well as an ender chest where you can store and manage items between rooms. These rooms also have their very own save room music, so you'll instantly feel a sense of relief when finding one!

- Full length game. This is only the first chapter, and I'm releasing it now because this map is a gargantuan undertaking, and I'm only one guy. This first chapter encompasses the first 90+ minutes of a map that is planned to be three or four times that length, with alternate gamemodes added post-full release. I wanted to give you guys a taste of what's to come because I can't predict when the full map will be released, as there is still so much to do.
