Developer Ice Code Games, known for titles like *Hard West II* and *Rogue Waters*, has unveiled their latest project, *Nightmare Frontier*, a tactical turn-based strategy game that blends the genres of extraction looter and horror. The game is being described as a thrilling mix of "XCOM meets Hunt: Showdown with a dash of Cthulhu." Fans can get a first look at the game through the announcement trailer and the gallery of initial screenshots provided below.

Set in an alternate version of 19th-century America, *Nightmare Frontier* takes place shortly after a mysterious event that has blurred the lines between reality and a horrifying unknown dimension. This cataclysmic occurrence has unleashed creatures known as Dreadweavers onto the streets, beings born from the darkest fears of humanity. In this unsettling new world, players assume the role of the ringleader, a figure who, despite being engulfed by terror, sees an opportunity for survival. Leading a group of scavengers, the player navigates the ravaged city, venturing deep into its heart to uncover the truth behind the Nightmare and to scavenge for valuable loot that could mean the difference between life and death.
