Overview
Description

Dr. Macario Magnus loses his wife and daughter in a tragic accident and becomes obsessed with contacting their souls. Consuming strange potions grants him the ability to enter other people's dreams, but also drives him toward madness. Detective Sarah Green investigates Magnus' disappearance, uncovering personal ties, hidden brooches, and a dark castle that holds the truth. Players guide Sarah through dream‑scapes and real‑world clues to decide Magnus' fate.

Enter the subconscious of coma patient Laura using the Dreams Machine, a hidden‑object puzzle adventure that blends point‑and‑click exploration with logic mini‑games. Solve environmental puzzles, collect dream catchers, and battle the Sandman across surreal dream worlds to uncover the truth behind her coma.
