Shaw shooting Kinene
Shaw's Nightmare II is a freeware game Retraux First-Person Shooter for DOS and Windows PCs. It is the sequel to Shaw's Nightmare. Shaw is once again trapped in a nightmare while volunteering to be a test subject for the Dreamcatcher machine.
Like the original game, it uses the same Build Engine again and is inspired by Doom II. It consists of 32 levels and was first released in 2016.
The game can be downloaded at it's official website here
or at Itch.io here.
This game provides examples of:
- Enemy Summoner: The Plopper cat, which can spawn Flying Fishes.
- Dancing Mook Credits: After the final boss is defeated you get to see all the enemies in the series (and Shaw himself) in a never-ending loop of parade of screams. They are killed upon a key-press.
- Exploding Barrel: There is a level full of exploding cargos, in a football field!
- Fragile Speedster: The Rapid-Firing Girl can shoot at fantastic speeds, but she has barely more health than the Former guys.
- Living Structure Monster: The final boss is named Ferris, but he is a wall with a face on it, with bloodshot eyes and a hole on his forehead, which the player has to shoot to defeat him.
- Mission-Pack Sequel: The game does have new monsters and a new weapon but otherwise it is graphically and mechanically similar to it's predecessor and uses the same engine.
