A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Beautiful game! It's my favorite one you've made. The artwork is again stunning, but the way you pulled off that things-that-are-totally-normal-in-a-dream-but-if-i-saw-that-in-real-life-I'd-definitely-know-something-was-wrong sort of feeling. The choices were numerous and varied, yet always maintained the feeling of dream-like confusion and strangeness.

Every single piece was important and carried weight. I loved that the character's identity was stripped away, just like a real dream. Memory and information are nonexistent until the dream requires them, and then they are often distorted because the brain doesn't operate the same way it does in waking hours. I'm sure we've all had strange dreams where we were a mostly blank slate as it unfolded. The game portrayed that extremely well, allowing the character to work through the haze and become more aware if she made the right decisions. Many of the endings are like slowly gaining lucidity, coming to a conclusion, then you wake up and the dream ends.

The visual effects that you used and the ambient music really took it up a notch. I loved my first playthrough and intend to play this again and again. It was a wonderful, if melancholy experience. Keep up the amazing work.
