Gabby, either as his sister or wife, begs him to wake up, and rejoices when he finally does.
Destroyed Dreams: after escaping a nightmarish version of himself, Thomas slowly awakens in a hospital, his arms bandaged and bloody. Wayward Dreamer: after waking up, a young Thomas goes to Gabby's room, where he kisses his sleeping sister good-night. As he wanders through each nightmare, "waking up" in a bed each time, the player sees Thomas commit gruesome acts of self-harm out of depression, such as pulling a blood vessel or even a bone out of his arm.ĭepending on the player's actions, Thomas will finally wake up into one of three different endings. The game begins with Thomas "waking up" from a nightmare, in which he had stabbed his younger sister Gabby in the stomach. These include a mansion, a cemetery, an insane asylum, a forest, and a hospital. Throughout the game, which is implied to be set in the late 1800s, Thomas must explore various locations in his nightmares. At turning points in the game, Thomas finds Gabby dead in various situations Thomas himself also dies in his nightmares, sometimes by his own hand, though this only leads him to wake up in yet another nightmare. Another character, Gabby, is introduced as Thomas' little sister, and frequently appears in his nightmares, occasionally changing roles. Neverending Nightmares revolves around Thomas Smith, a young man who is suffering from a seemingly-endless string of nightmares (hence the title). It uses a minimalist user interface, forgoing onscreen prompts and loading screens during play in order to increase immersion. 
The game features a 2D hand-drawn line art style heavily influenced by the works of Edward Gorey. The game contains a total of three different endings, all influenced by the player's choices or paths that they take.
This acts as the game's checkpoint and save system. Each time Thomas dies in a nightmare, comes across some serious cause of depression, or commits self-harm, he will "wake up" again in either the same nightmare as before, or into a different one. As the player navigates Thomas throughout the game, the nightmares become progressively worse, including the horrifying monsters that lurk within them. The player takes the role of Thomas, a man who "wakes up" from one nightmare and into another.
