Night Lurker is a exploration puzzle game inspired by Yume Nikki. You explore the strange worlds and solve puzzles to find all the collectables.

The In-Game Webcomic contains a mild amount of swearing, however it is not required to complete the Demo.

Before you play! The web version has slower load times in comparison to the downloadable version. The downloadable version is a better experience.

Web version note: audio does not work in Safari (tested on 17.5 and 13.1.2)

Do not replace your existing Night Lurker installation until you've read this:

Windows: Open your OLD Night Lurker folder, go into the 'www' folder. Copy the 'save' folder, open the NEW Night Lurker folder, go into the 'www' folder, paste the OLD 'save' folder.

Mac: Right-click on 'Night Lurker.app' (old version) and choose "Show Package Contents".  From here navigate to 'Contents/Resources/app.nw/'.  Copy the folder named 'save' and paste it into the equivalent location in 'Night Lurker.app' (new version). Now you can copy 'Night Lurker.app' (new version) to 'Applications' and your save data should be transferred.

Sleep in the bed, explore your dreams and find the effects, wake up. Repeat.
