GAME STORY: Eden is fed up with all the responsibilities and worries that life has brought them ever since they started adulthood. And just wishes to be back in a time where the only worry was what shirt to wear at school.

They end up getting more than what they bargained for one faithful night and wakes up in world that is full of wonder. From heroes of the comics they'd read to people that they so dearly missed. Despite the alluring nature of the world, Eden realizes that they can't just leave the life they have in the real world and wants to return. And are informed that the exit gate is on the other side of the realm.

But time is running as they are also told they only have 8 hours to pass through the all the sub-worlds to get to the exit. Gaining assistance from heroes and close friends, Eden is more than determined to get to the other side!

SONG DESCRIPTIONS:

1. DreamBound- This is the theme of the game. But more specifically, Eden is the one playing this! Playing the piano is one of the ways they vent. And it is through this vent playing and wishful thinking that is just enough for them to get transported.

2. Welcome to the Dream!-This theme plays when Eden wakes up in the world that was made in their image. And is greeted by all kinds of people.

3. Land of Spires and Wind- This the first world theme. Which is filled with mountains and abandoned buildings. With the final destination being a church that leads to the next world.

4. Land of Springs and Metronomes-This is the theme of the last world. Which is filled with clockwork inventions and clocks. As Eden and their crew wander, a clock ticks reminding them of the little time Eden has before they are trapped forever.

5. Credits- After saying their goodbyes, Eden is finally back in the real world. Now with a better sense of self and purpose, Eden is ready to face any future challenges and takes them head on!
