About the Game
Nrem is a 2D side-scrolling puzzle platformer, built around a unique, reflection mechanic that lets you traverse environments in creative and unexpected ways.
You play as The Watcher – named Lou – a quiet observer in a dreamlike world where memories shape reality. After breaking the sacred rule of non-intervention, Lou steals a fragment of a mirror connected to a struggling human. That single act of compassion sets off a ripple effect across the mystical Nrem World, a realm where dreams are forged and guided by strange and enchanting beings.
