I believe that might be a reference to Resident Evil which is also an intentional dumb name. :balloonicorn:

Hello

Thanks for the feedback but maybe you should go over the title and give it a chance

Thank you

if i remember right this started out as a fan remake of RE2 which was set in 1998

Yeah we worked on a RE2 fan remake, we met Capcom several times, we are also on the official remake game credits and we used what we learned for our game Daymare: 1998

Some horror names are description of the game settings and atmosphere like the names that talk about fear and evil
(Example: Resident evil, Layers of fear etc)

Others are names related to things mentioned inside the game, like games with the antagonist name (Example: Slender Man, The Walking Dead and I know it's not horror game but it mentions the zombies)

And others are just regular names.

Play the game, understand the story also read the documents in the game and you will find out which type of the name used from the types I mentioned above.
For me the game name is logical.

Not sure that Resident Evil or Metal Gear Solid, at first sight, have had a different impact about the title

You just have to get used to it and make it familiar as game title and not about its possible meaning or sound

Anyway, it's strictly connected to the game plot of course and is also a real, ancient word

Personally i love the game title. a Daymare is a "nightmare" you have while being awake. I find it a very strong hint towards some game mechanics.

Lol you could call a game super dog turd 3 the Pooening as far as I'm concerned as long as the actual gameplay is good.
What a weird thing to be bothered about lol.:steamfacepalm:

This is coming from someone who was really annoyed at the devs for brushing off reports of bugs, crashes and glitches - until they fixed it then I changed my mind
The name is perfect for this because it's a campy, funny, "so bad it's good" title. It could be called something like "Barry Burton has a Bad Trip" and it would still work.
