Overview
Description

Dream puts you in the shoes of Howard Phillips, a directionless graduate obsessed with his own dreams. The game blends exploration, puzzle‑solving, and horror as you wander through surreal environments inspired by titles like Yume Nikki and LSD. Inspired by narrative‑heavy experiences such as Dear Esther and Deus Ex, Dream offers non‑linear storytelling, atmospheric moments, and challenging puzzles that reveal deeper meanings about Howard's life. Single‑player adventure for PC.

Erin’s ordinary day turns into a nightmarish journey when her boyfriend Terry drags her into a strange, other‑worldly realm through a mysterious tune. As the bedroom fades, she finds herself on a lonely bridge, watching Terry drift farther away into an unknown dreamscape. The game challenges players to uncover the secrets of this shifting reality, solve puzzles, and decide whether Erin can reunite with Terry or become lost forever. It blends role‑playing, strategy, and adventure in an indie‑crafted experience.
