The Story of NIGHTMARE OPERATOR
In 2036, humanity is on the brink of extinction. Misha earns a living from the Provisional Government by exterminating Yokai in the Tokyo Ruins, and tries to live a modest life.
That stability shatters when the militant separatist group Tasogare-no-Yaiba carries out a terrorist attack in the Quarantine City of Shin-Chiba. Misha is assigned to investigate those responsible. As she pursues Tasogare-no-Yaiba’s enigmatic commander, Tsurugi Tsukuyomi, she is drawn into a maelstrom of conspiracy, human sacrifice, and betrayal.
NIGHTMARE OPERATOR Features
As Misha, you make your way through the Yokai-infested Tokyo Ruins with a mix of tense shootouts and mechanics inspired by fighting games.
- A world based on real Tokyo districts and landmarks, in a distinctive low-poly style
- Yokai that resemble creatures from Japanese urban myths and folklore: some attack like wild animals, while others plan, cooperate, and hunt Misha in an organized way
- A Modular Gun that can be fitted with various Weapon Modules, with Command Motions on the clutch for instant weapon switching and chaining attacks
- A Heat Gauge that fills if the Modular Gun is used carelessly, then triggers an Overheat and leaves the operator helpless for several seconds
- Weapon Programs that can be installed to change the Modular Gun’s functions
- Sumida Reclamation Outpost, where Misha rests when not on a mission, buys modules and upgrades, trains at the Target Range, and builds relationships with other operators

The supported languages include Japanese, English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, French, German, Spanish, and Korean.
