How to Play

Playing MAERE 2: Hypnagogia requires a delicate balance of fear management and stealth. Here’s how to navigate the eerie landscape:

 - Objective: Your primary goal is to fall asleep in the haunted room. To do this, you’ll need to manage your fear levels while keeping your eyes closed.

 - Controls:

• Hold J: Close your eyes to attempt falling asleep.
• Release J: Open your eyes to check your surroundings.

 - Fear Management:

• Your fear level plays a crucial role in the game. If it gets too high, ghostly entities may appear and threaten your chances of sleeping.
• Look Around: If you hear noises in the dark, raise your fear levels, and see an entity, use the A and D keys to look around and reassure yourself that the area is safe, helping to lower your fear.

 - Ignoring Ghosts:

• Ghosts thrive on attention. If you encounter something supernatural, avoid looking at it directly, and it will eventually leave you alone. This mechanic emphasizes the importance of staying calm and composed in the face of fear.

 - Dreaming and Pain:

• Once asleep, you may enter a dream state where nothing can harm you. However, you can still experience the sensation of pain, adding another layer of psychological tension to the gameplay.

With its unique blend of strategy and psychological horror, MAERE 2: Hypnagogia offers an engaging experience for players who enjoy a challenge. So, gather your courage, and see if you can make it through the night! Sweet dreams… if you dare!
