You wake up in a prison cell and have 24 hours to prove your innocence.  The funny thing is, the only way to do it is to lie down.  And dream.

Reminiscent of retro point-and-click games, The Key features unique game mechanics, stylized visuals and some very challenging puzzles.

Feel free to leave a comment if you have questions/suggestions or you're stuck on a puzzle.  Hints will happily be provided.  :-)

NOTE:  this is a pre-Alpha version of the game.  no outside testing has been done yet, so if anyone enjoys looking for bugs while playing a mysterious puzzle-based adventure, your feedback would be greatly appreciated!
