==History==
===Nightmare House===
The game opens with a lost man crashing his truck into an abandoned household after getting lost in a forest. Looking for help, he realises that the house is infested with zombie-like creatures and fights his way through hordes of these monsters.
Meanwhile, an enigmatic demon endlessly haunts him until it chases him outside as he dashed towards his broken down truck. She then plagues his mind with incurable insanity, forcing him to be entered in Never Lose Hope Hospital.
===Nightmare House 2===
In the sequel, the patient - the true protagonist - goes through a very similar experience, but he instead crashes outside the Romero mansion, and the ghost that haunts him is that of Emily, the deceased wife of Dr. Romero, a sociopathic scientist who hid in the hospital for months after accidentally killing Emily in one of his sadistic experiments.
Emily was also the one who made the patient hallucinate the zombies in hopes of turning him insane with the trauma, getting entered in Never Lose Hope Hospital, and convincing him to kill Dr. Romero for his evil actions.
After spending four months in the hospital, the Patient watches as his residence is transformed into a slaughterhouse when Dr. Romero's hallucination device, the Core, either turns everyone insane or kills them. The patient fends himself off from the monstrous "zombies" plaguing the hospital,.
He eventually encounters a group of four SWAT officers sent to kill Dr. Romero and contain the situation, but hey are gradually killed, and the patient duels Romero and the Core, only to be defeated. As Romero mocks the patient for his failure, Emily finally gets her revenge by brutally killing her evil husband and giving the patient one last "Thank you."
