KISS Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child, is a first person shooter for the Sega Dreamcast. Its concept is slightly bizarre - it is based on a comic book, KISS: Psycho Circus, which in turn is based on a rock band, KISS. The story features the adventures of a KISS tribute band who suddenly receive superhuman powers.

The North American version was at one point set to have a online deathmatch mode[3][4].
