Completing Your Date with Nightmares: A Solving Guide

When you start Date Everything, you might reasonably assume that the term “everything” only covers ordinary items you’d find around your home—things like coffee makers, beds, and air fryers. While those objects are indeed included, the game takes “everything” to a whole new level.

Love is such an intangible concept; why not extend that idea to the things you date in the game? Interestingly, you can even engage with your own nightmares. Once you encounter the character known as Nightmare, you’re in for quite an experience. How do you actually communicate with your deepest fears?

Who Is Nightmare?

Nightmare is basically the embodiment of your fears. Picture a mix of terrifying creatures and eerie shadows, wrapped up in an unsettling form. In the dark, they can be hard to distinguish, appearing only as vague, scary shapes. But hey, some might find that intriguing!

Nightmare’s aggressive demeanor fits their role perfectly. After all, no one expects a night terror to be friendly. If you’re looking to transform those scary nightmares into something more pleasant, get ready for some lucid dreaming! Nightmares don’t like being ignored.

How To Meet Nightmare

While most people usually try to steer clear of nightmares, this game encourages you to face them. However, your character tends to sleep quite soundly, making it a challenge to meet Nightmare. So how do you make sure to encounter them?

You have two possible strategies. First, you could wait it out. Nightmare will eventually show up while you sleep, although this is quite rare and may not be your initial encounter.

Your second option guarantees a meeting. After your first chat with Nightmare, they’ll hint at how to invoke nightmares. Drink some coffee right before bed. While not the best practice in the real world, it’s the perfect way to summon Nightmare in the game. In fact, having coffee just before you sleep will definitely trigger their appearance.

How To Change Your Relationship Status With Nightmare

The objective of Date Everything is to form connections with every character, including your nightmares. Just like other dateable characters in the game, Nightmare has three possible endings, but achieving these requirements isn’t as straightforward as simply flirting.

Your relationship’s direction takes a significant turn when Nightmare asks you to confront your greatest fear. Every response is valid, but your reaction to the nightmare has the most considerable impact on the ending you achieve. Here’s how to navigate each ending:

Hate

If you want Nightmare to dislike you, it’s quite easy. Their role is to terrify you with their unsettling dreams. To make them resent you, simply reject your fear consistently. This will cause them to question their existence, blaming you for it, and strengthen their resolve to scare you.

Friends

Becoming friends with Nightmare is a little unconventional. Instead of reassuring them of their purpose, regardless of how frightening it may be, you need to show fear at every turn. Allow them to feel in control the entire time. Just be honest; they can tell if you’re pretending. Show genuine fear but don’t overdo it.

Love

For Nightmare to fall in love with you, the approach is quite similar to becoming friends. You’ll need to be careful throughout. Any errors or lack of genuine reactions will lead you to the friendship outcome. To earn their affection, acknowledge their purpose and express real fear. If you satisfy these conditions, you might find Nightmare harboring feelings for you, even if their intended role is to frighten you. Who knew even your nightmares could develop a crush?
