Atmosfear - DVD Game

Product Information

When you started a game, you’d start the video playing, and a hooded figure would appear. He was the Gatekeeper, and to win the game you had to beat him as well as your fellow players. The game had an hour limit (the length of the tape) and there was a timer on screen to count down the seconds. When the time was up, the Gatekeeper won; if you managed to get to the middle of the board and claim your nightmare before then, you stopped the tape and celebrated your victory. As cutting edge as the game seemed at the time, it now seems quaintly old-fashioned, and there’s something nice about that. If you’ve got a copy of the video version sitting in your attic – and if you still have a VHS player – it might be worth blowing the dust off, turning the lights down low and the volume up loud to give it another go…

It provides an immersive and enjoyable way to review the layers of the atmosphere. All it takes to ruin a game like this is for one player not to get into it properly. If one person refuses to do something the Gatekeeper asks them to, the whole illusion of the game is shattered. For that reason, you have to be kind of careful who you play it with. Anyone overly self-conscious, overly cynical, will spoil the, ahem, atmosphere for everyone. But get the right group of people together and it’s a lot of fun. Interactive Review: Say goodbye to traditional review methods. Our game injects fun and engagement into the learning process, making it an enjoyable experience for all. The Harbingers of Gévaudan the Werewolf and Hellin the Poltergeist were never made into board games.

Two years after the game's launch in 1991, the two millionth Nightmare board game was sold. Since then, three game expansions have been released.
