We both go down together: The Nightmare Cooperative comes to iOS this week

My grocery co-op in Brooklyn was just like this.

Finally, a game developer that understands why we play mobile games: to insulate ourselves from the fiery love of our families and to block out the excruciating beauty of the natural world. Nightmare Cooperative’s trailer invites us to do exactly that on August 28th, when the PC game makes the jump to iOS as a universal app, just as we foretold back in July. Android is in the works for some future date.

Nightmare Cooperative is a puzzle roguelike where a small village has started a commonwealth scheme to rid itself of a troublesome nearby dungeon. The unique twist here is that when you move one character in your party, you move them all. Lucky Frame’s music toy/tower defense game Bad Hotel has been delighting players and confounding TripAdvisor search results since 2012, and this is the Scottish studio’s first game since — I expect greatness.
