Features
Day and Night Cycle: In the city of Cai Mons, residents live within both the waking world and a cosmic shared dream that taps into the community’s subconscious. Travel across waking and dream dimensions to meet fascinating new neighbors, discover hidden secrets, and uncover clues. Dialogue and actions have an impact on your adventure and fellow citizens.
Delve into Dream Dungeons: While in dream space, encounter bizarre creatures and fight to survive in one of two ways. Choose combat styles from the Path ability system to engage in turn-limited tactical fights alongside companions, or choose a poetic conversational battle of wits and tone from the Shaping system.
A Stunning Surreal World: Players immerse themselves in the hand painted style from renowned artist Emma Anderson Jackson. The ethereal electronic soundtrack from composer Anna Cataldo carries players deeper into the dream. Each highly detailed, animated environment and its audio accompaniment reflects the beautiful unrest of urban life in Cai Mons, and perhaps beyond.
Unravel a Conspiracy: Someone, or something, is causing chaos inside the city and turning the dream world into a nightmare. Join a cast of companions and embark on a journey that spans dimensions, challenges imaginations, and explores the nature of culture itself.
