A Nightmare on Elm Street

A Nightmare on Elm Street is an action game based on the movie of the same name, where the player attempts to free their friends from the grasp of the evil Freddy Krueger. Find a way into Freddy's house on Elm Street, enter the Nightmare World, and fight him with unique powers or die trying!

Selectable Characters

The game begins with the player choosing one of five characters in an attempt to free Joey. Spending too much time during this section will allow Freddy to capture random character, until all but one selectable character is left, so choose a character quickly! Each character has a different Soul and Power meter rating, as well as unique abilities.

The characters are:

Finding Freddy Krueger's House

The game starts on Elm Street with the player viewable from a top-down perspective. The player must find Freddy's house through this maze of streets while avoiding Freddy himself.

Inside Freddy Krueger's House

Inside the house, the player must explore and find a way to the other levels. The level location of each friend is displayed on the right frame as well as their remaining soul. As time passes, their souls may decrease, indicated by a text informing the player of their screams.

While exploring, the player may encounter monsters, items, and traps. Monsters and traps will decrease the player's soul. Items may consist of weapons, ammunition, gold coins (to buy items), batteries, objects to restore soul, and other uses. Items must first be selected in order to use or drop them.
