DDDistortion’s upcoming action horror shooter NIGHTMARE OPERATOR continues to up the weirdness in its new Tokyo Game Show 2024 trailer. The new trailer shows off a bit more gameplay compared to the trailer released in May, as well as showing off a redesign for Misha, the central protagonist (designed by Takeshi Oga of the Gravity Rush series), and a “sneak peek” of a new enemy type and new area.
Combining aspects of classic survival horror with the “skill-based mechanics and execution of fighting games,” NIGHTMARE OPERATOR takes place in the year 2036, where humanity has been decimated. You play as Misha, a Public Safety Operator for the Provisional Government. You’re tasked with hunting monsters known as Youkai, as well as protecting the quarantined city of Shin-Chiba. As Misha makes her way to the haunted ruins of Tokyo, she uncovers something that could “unmake what remains of civilization.”
NIGHTMARE OPERATOR makes use of what is referred to as the Clutch System mechanic. The system allows Misha to rapidly switch out Weapon Modules from her gun using command inputs inspired by fighting games. These Weapon Modules allow for various elemental damage effects such as freezing, stunning, or cause bleeding when used on Youkai. You’ll come across several Weapon Modules as you explore, which can be slotted into different “Command Slots” in Misha’s gun, allowing you to choose which command inputs to assign to what modules.
No release date has been announced as of yet for NIGHTMARE OPERATOR.
