About the Game



You’re trapped in a dream, and the only way to escape is by uploading and running a special program on your computer.

However, the house is filled with strange anomalies that won’t let you work in peace. These anomalies cause paranormal disturbances, each one raising your stress level.

If your stress gets too high, it could consume you entirely.

To progress, you must find and remove all the anomalies before you can return to your work. Control your stress and clear the anomalies, or you’ll never wake up.

----

This is a teamwork game where it's recommended to work with 2 or more players.

There are different type of anomalies that you can find:

Level 1 Anomaly Objects that move or Objects that are bigger or smaller
Level 2 Anomaly Objects that were not there before or creepy objects
Level 3 Anomaly Objects that can harm you, like monsters and special events.
Level 4 Anomaly Events that kill the player that is out of the bedroom, usually an AI Monster.

The higher is the progress of the program, the higher the chance to encounter higher level anomalies.

If the player finds a wrong anomaly the progress of the program goes down by 25%

In order to progress you must remove the active anomalies first.

Once the all the phases of the program have been programmed and uploaded, the players can escape their dream by finding the remaining anomalies in the room and go sleep.
