Atmosfear: The Gatekeeper is the seventh official full release in the Nightmare/Atmosfear series and the first to include a DVD instead of a VHS tape.

Atmosfear: The Gatekeeeper

The series' first DVD game. Despite changes, game play is more reminiscent of the original game. Players collect keys to face their fears while taking orders and playing mini-games from an updated Gatekeeper. In another first for the series, this is the first time a board was designed without booster packs in mind. It also introduces the 'black key' which forces it's holder to be unable to win the game until they get rid of it.

Approximate Running Time: 49 minutes.

Time Card Typo

Due to a printing mistake a time card is included in early copies of the game which prevents a player from being able to play the game at all if followed to the letter. This is because in Atmosfear: The Gatekeeper the timer runs down from 60 minutes instead of up (like in previous games). Players should be advised to check for and remove this card from their deck before starting a game.

Atmosfear: Express

Released only in Spain in 2008, Atmosfear: Express is a fifteen minute version of Atmosfear: The Gatekeeper. Some versions of the game came with two DVDs, the fifteen minute version as well as the original 49 minute version.

Approximate Running Time: 15 minutes

Atmosfear: The Gatekeeper Interactive Edition

In June 2019, an advertisement for Atmosfear: Interactive Edition surfaced on the internet. It suggested the re-release of Atmosfear: The Gatekeeper (2004) on an app, with greater interactivity than what a DVD could achieve. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case.

Despite some outlets claiming to have copies of this version of the game; no physical copies featuring David Whitney's Gatekeeper portrayal have surfaced. This version was later retooled and released as ATMOSFEAR (2019) which debuted around Halloween that same year.

"Remember the old VCR game Nightmare in 1991 then AtmosFear DVD game after 1995? Well now in 2019 we have the Interactive version relaunch of the game! The aim of Atmosfear is to collect a key from each of the six regions of the board before heading to the "Well of Fears" in the center and attempting to draw your fear from among those of your opponents in order to win the game. This must be done before 49 minutes pass, or all players lose automatically.

The Gatekeeper will frequently appear and causes problems for any or all of the players. Just like its predecessor, Atmosfear makes for stressful play -- players rush to take their turn and pass on the dice as quickly as possible before the Gatekeeper appears and calls on them!
