Nepenthos

What is Nepenthos?

You are in a dream. Not your own - to be completely honest, you don’t even know whose dream it is, and you don’t care.
You’re here for the dark things that plague them, the pain that takes shape in dreams… and becomes vulnerable.
Nepenthos is a first-person stealth game set in a surreal train station dreamscape,
in which the player sets out to slaughter the sorrows of the dreamer, that have taken shape as monsters,
through careful planning and use of their surroundings.

Who made Nepenthos?

We are the creators of Nepenthos.
A passionate team of artist, game designers and engineers
who all developed this game in 10 weeks as part of our studies at School for Games (S4G) Berlin.
Nepenthos served as a final paper for our second semester.
