Nightmare Puppeteer

Tv Mode is back

What is TV mode? Press the button and find out- NP will make random cartoons forever(on until it crashes lol)

The slider sets the amount of time for each Tv Mode scene-

If you load in audio clips into the audio playlist it will randomly play them-

Fixed some bugs where a few scene were missing navmeshes so you couldn't move around them-

Added ConnectIk console command to connect things

Added a wacky, broken new command to the new Crappy Console!

ConnectIk!

More heads, bodies + the NP Console

Added a few more bodies and heads and added a Console to NP-

Here's how to access the console--> SHIFT + Escape

To show all the available NP commands type this into the console and press return--> list

When setting scene text and other WORDS wrap the words in "" like this "This is scene text"

Please add your console command requests as comments to this post, on the Steam discussion page or on our Github issues here

The eyes are alive!

Changed the eye behavior so now they randomly move- some times nervous, some times calm- the puppets are coming to life ːsteamhappyː

The eyes are alive!

New heads and bodies!

Added some new heads and bodies- hope you like them!

*also made it so if you add Rando's on start they don't explode and kill each other instantly- fulfilling a request by Jolsh from 6 thousand years ago

6 new scenes added

Added Caves, Convenience Store, Pharmacy, Happy Cabin, Dark Cabin and another News set. Wormhole is another new scene I added last week.

I went with a different philosophy with these scenes- I left them barren so you could populate them using the level editor. Also the More News set has music as its ambient sound- just trying some new things maaaaaaaan

Added Wormhole scene+

Its a new running scene- going to add 5 more scene now for the next update-

I simplified NP's debug log as it was logging way too much text before 0_0

Also fixed a bug where midi files from Steam were not loading correctly-

Tiny bug fixes


  • Fixed the Esc menu as it wasn't saving jaw sensitivity set there
  • Fixed a bug where upon returning from the Motel scene the actors would disappear
  • Tweaked the experimental gamepad support


- If you use the Beat Bob feature and have issues with flying/flipping actors I'll fix that next update

*Thanks for Jolsh for letting me know about the bugs on our github page
