I believe so. It appears to be some sort of game, which is good. It means he's following the rules of the game and that there's a way to win.

The object of the game seems to be to collect pages of notebook paper tacked to landmarks, and to collect them all before whatever monster Nightmare has transformed himself into catches up to you.

I'm not entirely certain how many pages there are, but there are only so many landmarks so there can't be too many. Everything else is forest and chain link fences.

{Just like Black, he's there an hour and he already figured everything out.}
