What Bobo and the Chest of Nightmares is

Bobo and the Chest of Nightmares is an unreleased adventure game in development at POLYCAST LABS, currently scheduled for 30 October 2026. It is available on Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.

The premise, in the publisher's words

BOBO AND THE CHEST OF NIGHTMARES is a character-driven 3D platformer that mixes light combat, acrobatic movement and collectible-driven progression inside a twisted carnival of dreams and nightmares. During a circus performance, Bobo opens the legendary Nightmare Chest and accidentally frees the Dreammaster, an ancient entity that turns dreams into living nightmares. The once vibrant kingdom fractures into eerie realms ruled by corrupted spirits, roaming minions and theatrical bosses. Guided by the floating DreamMask, Bobo must recover EchoMares – spiritual fragments representing freed dreams – and restore laughter to a world now trapped in eternal twilight.
