changedAs you’ve probably already noticed, the core gameplay in Nightmare Frontier revolves around participating in raids. In the full version of the game, there will be five districts available.

🏆 The Longest Victorious Raid Contest 🏆

IMPORTANT:

As the name suggests, the winner will be the one who ventures the deepest into a location and, most importantly - survives! Remember: the paths are randomized, so don’t give up too soon. You never know if your next run might just be the one that takes you the farthest! Next, take a screenshot of the run summary screen, that’s where we can see how far you made it. We’ll be looking at the score on the left side (not the "Longest Raid"!), so make sure to take screenshots right after each run... — Steam post image

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

Simply post a link to your Steam screenshot on Steam Thread!

(only screenshots uploaded on Steam & linked in this thread will be considered) You have time until Monday, June 16, 2025 (10 a.m. CEST) - that’s when we’ll pick the winners, so they can enjoy their Nightmare Frontier (EA) keys from the very first second of the launch! In the meantime, we encourage you to join our Discord and keep us posted on your grinding progress... Good luck! 🍀
