About the Game

Summary

This is a narrative-driven adventure game in which you dive into another’s nightmare and intervene in the source of the anomaly.

As Homura, a hunter, you explore the dreams of a girl who has lost her memory.

Story

In the forbidden lands, Orochi was slain.

It was something that had happened time and again in this world — or so it was supposed to be.

When the hunter Homura struck off its head, the corpse did not vanish.

Instead, a girl appeared. She was alive — but remembered nothing, not even her name.

Abandoning her would have ended it all.

But Homura chose otherwise.

To restore the girl’s lost memories, he chooses to enter her dreams —

to walk through a world shaped by memory and search for the source of the nightmare.

Yet once inside, Homura faces a single dilemma:

to end the nightmare — or to let it remain.

The scenes witnessed in the dream quietly begin to overlap with reality.

Key Features / Gameplay

  • Narrative adventure (visual-novel style): story progression through dialogue and scenes.

  • Dream Analysis (3D dungeon exploration / no combat): first-person exploration through a maze-like dream world.

  • Exploration + environmental puzzles: find clues, triggers, and mechanisms to open the way forward.

  • In-game map available: check your position while exploring.

  • Each Dream Analysis run takes ~5–10 minutes: a short loop alternating between story and exploration.

  • Player choices: choices appear at key moments (details are revealed within the story).
