Gameplay
Gameplay
Nightmare Kart takes place in the Victorian steampunk city of Miralodia, with heavy inspirations taken from Bloodborne. The game contains various game modes, such as a full campaign, boss fights, and a VS battle mode. Players can choose from 13 karts and 15 maps. Players can perform driving techniques such as drifting and jump-tricks in order to build up a boost, they can also pick up power-ups to fight against other racers.
Development and release
Development and release
Nightmare Kart initially started out as an April Fool's video created during the development of Bloodborne PSX but was eventually turned into a real product shortly after the game's release. During January 2024, LWMedia was contacted by Sony over unauthorized use of the Bloodborne intellectual property, which caused the game to be slightly delayed in order to remove all references. This also caused the game to be renamed from Bloodborne Kart to Nightmare Kart. The game was released on May 31, 2024, on Itch.io and June 5, 2024, on Steam, with the Steam release being delayed due to Steam's review process. On 14 November 2025, a reskin of Nightmare Kart, titled Glitch Kart, was released in cooperation with Glitch Productions to help advertise their Black Friday sale. It features environments and characters from various Glitch Production shows, such as The Amazing Digital Circus and Murder Drones.
