ZED: EVE OF NIGHTMARE

What purpose do I serve in this life? Is it to do my job as I've been conditioned to? To serve the land that raised me? I ask myself because I don't feel like this is enough. I'm surrounded by eternal sleepers in the Marer's Jail. Surely my fate is greater.

On the Eve of Nightmare

ZED: EVE OF NIGHTMARE is a body horror puzzle game that explores human understanding of the unconscious. As the only conscious being in the tortured realm of Marer's Jail, Zed must invade nightmares to craft powerful unconscious cores to feed to the land. This cycle has become painfully monotonous, causing Zed to think critically about his purpose in life, begging for a greater fate. Yet what sort of change will offer enough peace to console Zed's visions of horror and pain?
