Nightmare House is a free two-part horror modification of Half-Life 2 developed by We Create Stuff, also known for Portal:The Flash Version. It can be found here (Nightmare House 2 includes a revamped version of Nightmare House 1). It is not to be confused with the Super Mario World mod of the same name.Nightmare House 1 is a simple horror mod with no changes to the Source engine but some model edits. In it, you play a nameless protagonist who crashes his car in the middle of nowhere. Venturing into a nearby house, he finds it haunted by zombies and a mysterious ghostly woman. Eventually he escapes, but before he can get back to the road, the woman appears and blocks his path, and he blacks out.Nightmare House 2 features more changes to the game engine, and a far longer storyline. In it, after the events of Nightmare House 1, the protagonist wakes up in a cell at the mysterious "Never Lose Hope" hospital, a massive hospital in the middle of nowhere. Featuring an actual plot, you attempt to escape the now zombie-infested hospital with the aid of various characters, and try to find the explanation behind the mysterious ghostly woman who seems to be following you.You had to have Half-Life 2: Episode 2 installed in order to run it, but the latest, updated release turned the mod standalone, while also updating a few things. | |

Your Mind Makes It Real | |
| Nightmare House (Video Game) / int_234073a4 | comment |
Your Mind Makes It Real: Romero summons "creepy" zombies from your mind during the finale. Whether or not they're real the rest of the time is uncertain. Romero's diary mentions how the cook was a zombie and he killed him with the axe, which means that some of the zombies are real - or he is just completely bonkers. It's more likely that most of the zombies are real, and that Romero is just cloning them from his own or the Player's experience. Maybe the axe isn't real either, and is actually still just lying there in front of the house with all your weapons from the first game. | |

Stupidity Is the Only Option | |
| Nightmare House (Video Game) / int_40680cf6 | comment |
Stupidity Is the Only Option: In Chapter 7, even though you know Romero is probably hiding in that bathroom you have no choice but to leave the room, at which point he locks you out and you're forced to destroy the core while he sends hallucinations after you. This is even more frustrating since you just got the shotgun, the weapon that had been used to "open" locked doors by the squad leader until that point. It gets funnier if you noclip through the door to find Romero is silently doing a physically impossible dance of the sort straight out of a bad G-Mod short. | |

Ambiguous Ending | |
| Nightmare House (Video Game) / int_42215dce | comment |
Ambiguous Ending: The second game's "real" ending, in which you destroy the Core. Sure, you manage to destroy the Core, allowing Emily to finally get her revenge on Romero, but the game cuts off after her "Thank you." It's unclear what her idea of gratitude consists of, but it could be anything from a quick death over simply letting you leave the hospital to wanting to be your bestest friend. Forever. Further compounded by Fridge Horror when you realize that there's probably a reason that you're lying on the floor, being unable to move or do anything but look around after destroying the Core. However, after the credits in the updated version you hear a steady pulse from a heart monitor, indicating the protagonist may have survived. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| Nightmare House (Video Game) / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Played with. Real SWAT members would never let a civilian carry a gun on them. Especially an asylum patient. On the other hand, it is a minor zombie apocalypse and taking it away is tantamount to a death sentence and they DID need a guide. They were also wary of the patient, but decided he seemed sane enough. On the other hand, they perform their jobs semi-professionally at best. On the other hand, they all die and one of them hallucinates and almost kills his squad leader. On the other hand, they mow down zombies like no tomorrow and the one guy hallucinates because of a machine that the player helped strengthen the signal of and the main character is immune to its effects thanks to Emily. | |

Ambiguously Evil: One could argue the point of whether or not Romero is really, truly evil. There's no proof that he did anything to Emily, and most of his actions were in self defense. Faux Affably Evil: At the final fight however Romero reveals himself to be basically outright evil as he brags about being able to control free will, couldn't care less about the destruction caused by The Core and brags about murdering a SWAT team plus its Black Hawk helicopter escort, all the while gleefully talking about your inevitable death. | |

Haunted Technology: Dr. Romero says that the PA system in NH2 is completely automated. It's not, although it doesn't start being noticeable up til Chapter 3. It's both hilarious and creepy to hear the mechanical voice start showing signs of being a Deadpan Snarker. Eventually, you come upon a room that appears to be where the PAs would be originating from, and you end up finding a dessicated corpse still sitting at the chair in front of the microphone. The PA then chimes in: "I do not wish for you to see me like this. Please leave now." | |

Fun with Acronyms | |
| Nightmare House (Video Game) / int_c25c7890 | comment |
Fun with Acronyms: One of the more interesting features in the game is the Auto Scare System that manages when certain events happen, akin to the AI director from Left 4 Dead. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Nightmare House (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The SWAT do this all the time. Romero quotes Portal and BioShock when you fight him. The aforementioned scene involving the SWAT gesturing for you to flip a switch and open the door is visually similar to Cryostasis where a man apparently trapped in an elevator shaft bangs on the glass of the control booth and points to the controls just below him. The hallway full of shadow people is a reference to a similar sequence in Metro 2033. Similarly, the mannequin sequence refers to the ones in Condemned: Criminal Origins. The music video easter egg is a parody of this video by Weebl. A special guest star appears in one of the Easter Eggs. It's Uboa. The bloody hospital hallways scenes are a dead match to similar scenes in F.E.A.R.... although they sometimes end differently than expected. In another shoutout to F.E.A.R, the player must go into a security room to open the elevator. Emily appears outside, watching him through the glass. When he leaves the room, she's gone. Romero drops this line, "Hey, hey, hey. Don't touch that; it's mine! Everything here is mine!" | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| Nightmare House (Video Game) / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: The more frightening scenes are often preluded in areas completely devoid of enemies, lighting, or both. They are far creepier than groaning zombies charging at you head-on. Also, the mannequins mentioned above. They don't attack you, they don't even make any movements. And yet they managed to become one of the creepiest elements of the game by having a nasty habit of appearing right behind you to spook you as you turn, and replacing a friendly NPC who was gesturing you the way to go just moments ago. Not to mention the hall of shadow people. They don't move at all, and they can only harm you if you walk right into them, yet just seeing them might make you want to trek back to that laundry room to wash your pants. | |

Ten-Second Flashlight | |
| Nightmare House (Video Game) / int_eca56f2 | comment |
Ten-Second Flashlight: Your light in both games lasts as long as the ones in the Half-Life games they're based off of. In the case of 2, it's just as generous as the one in Half-Life 2 Episode 2, but since you spend much more time in total darkness in the mod, its relatively short battery life becomes painfully noticeable. | |

| Nightmare House (Video Game) / int_f6f6adeb | comment |
Railroading: You can't open any of the doors until the current plot event has ended. Made even worse by the fact that the SWAT squad leader can easily blast them open with his shogun, but when you've finally get his shotgun and try the same, nope, doesn't work. | |

Random Event: HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME. "We would like to take a minute of your time to notify you... There is something behind you." Some of the SWAT team's jokes. You will sometimes be hurt for a single point of damage for no discernable reason. | |
