Who else is going all out for nightmare mode? I've hit 2 of the 4 nightmare mode constraints. Another one, no expository text, I might also have acheived, I'm not really sure what it means. I'm at 2200 ish words, so that's going to be hard to cut down to 1000. My submission is a single 13kb txt file containing a complete game that requires no other text. I am feeling pretty happy with how minimal I went.

3 of 4 here, I will submit the game tomorrow.
The only one i missed is because the game is loosely based on an existing system, even if I wrote the original system.

I believe I'm in 4 out of 4, both in Portuguese and English, if my interpretation is correct.

I accidentally hit most of them just because the game is simple, but I don't think I got the expository text one. I don't really know what qualifies as expository text though.

To be honest, nightmare mode is just how I design my games. At least to start.
