Occult FPS in the KISS universe with baroque monsters and maze-like levels. Stiff handling and levels overly dependent on keys. A cult curiosity for band fans.

KISS Psycho Circus - The Nightmare Child (Dreamcast) price, value & rarity
Is KISS Psycho Circus - The Nightmare Child still worth playing in 2026?
Drawn from the Psycho Circus comic tied to the band KISS, this first person shooter plunges into a dark, grotesque world where players take on avatars linked to the group's four members. The action borrows from the era's FPS lineage, with an unabashed heavy metal mood and a monstrous bestiary. The tech has aged, the level design stays conventional and interest wanes over the long haul. For KISS fans and the curious about offbeat music tie-ins, it keeps a genuine singularity.
