How to Play Nightmare Abyss

Swim through the abyss while escaping the pursuing nightmare creature. Use the virtual joystick (or directional controls) to move freely in 360° space. Tap the butterfly stroke button in rhythm to gain short, powerful speed bursts. Hide behind rock giants to block the nightmare’s line of sight and recover. Watch for comet impacts—they create brief light zones where the nightmare cannot enter. Collect energy orbs to restore stamina; running out means slowing down and becoming prey. Survival depends on movement timing, stamina management, and environmental awareness.
