Nightmare Creatures is a 3rd person action game, like most games I have in this site. You can play the game with two characters. The other character is Ignatius but who would play with him as you can choose for Nadia. The main goal of the game is killing monsters that have taken over old London. To do that you have a range of weapons to choose from including firearms. The atmosphere is dark and sinister. Graphics are ok, a bit dated. 
So far the good things. Besides the monsters you have to fight there's some poisoned gas hanging around you and that forces you to dispose of the attacking creatures as fast as possible. And that somehow spoils the game. Usually you have enough time to finish the level, but there isn't time to walk back and take a good look of the place. You can't hang around.
There is a second game that's about the same mad professor Adam Crowley. But as you can only play that game with/as an insane guy I never even bothered to try that.
