Great Cthulhu has trapped your sleeping mind in the Dreamlands. Your dream-self has shattered into multiple fragments, scattered throughout the dream world. It is your task to recover these lost fragments, unravel the story secrets and survive long enough to find the correct key and matching gate to escape and wake up!
Dreamescape is a narrative exploration game driven by story card encounters. Each encounter offers roleplay-like choices that drive the game in divergent directions so the game evolves differently each time you play. Our novel keycode system triggers secret alternative storylines based on collected clues and items! Chance of success is based on your skills, equipment and lore gained so far, while repeated play rewards your experience as you uncover different parts of the story and memory of playing previously guides your choices!
Play one of six unique characters in this solo or 2 player semi co-operative RPG-like survival horror game. Carefully manage your skills and resources, find rare items, gain secret knowledge and wield two uniquely powerful abilities - Deja vu and Lucid dreaming - to stay ahead of the minions of Cthulhu. Explore many hundreds of unique story encounters on your quest to recover the mind fragments and find a Dreamgate to let you wake from the nightmare. Failure will lead to insanity, locked forever in a dream within your own mind!
The game offers multiple interwoven story arcs and plot lines to keep you occupied, with hidden puzzles, traps and lore to uncover but all knowledge comes at a price. The more you experience, the greater your chances of being driven to insanity! To win you must avoid, adapt, or overcome the many dangers of this nightmare world.
