How it works Every level Perks Lv 1 vs Lv 25 Mastery Using it

Flashlight at Lv 1. Nightmares held in the beam by a Pillow Wall, and a Night Moth flying through it.

How it works.

Burns everything in a beam 3 tiles long down its own lane, all the time: its damage is per second, to every nightmare in the beam at once. The beam is at full power over its first two thirds, then fades to 50% at the tip.
A beam is light: Shades and other shadowy nightmares standing in it lose their half-damage resistance.
It hits flying nightmares.
It gives light: 1 tile around it.
Toughness 300: what nightmares have to chew through to get past it.

The Bedtime Book says, at Lv 1

35 damage per second up close, 18 at the far end of its 3-tile beam. Toughness 300. Hits flying monsters.

And at Lv 25

103 damage per second up close, 51 at the far end of its 5-tile beam. Toughness 660. Hits flying monsters.

Every level, 1 to 25.

Upgrading costs coins, once, and lasts for good. Lv 25 costs 213,390 coins in all. The green rows are the levels with a milestone perk.

Lv 1 against Lv 25.

The same scene twice, recorded in the game: on top with the toy at Lv 1, below at Lv 25.

Nightmares held in the beam by a Pillow Wall, and a Night Moth flying through it. The nightmares and their health are the same in both halves: only the toy's level differs.

Lv 1All defeated in 6.3s

Lv 25All defeated in 2.2s

Measured from the recording. Nightmares in a real night have more health the deeper the level (the curve), so times there differ; the ratio is what an upgrade buys. Every toy's comparison

Toy Mastery.

The game's tip

Flashlights burn hottest up close: put a wall right in front of one. Their beam lights up the dark too.

Numbers from the game's own data, version 1.0.0 as of November 13, 2026. Toy and nightmare numbers are the base values: every night scales the nightmares to its level (how).
