About the Game

Are you awake, or still dreaming?

You’re on a bus, trying to reach your next stop. But every time you close your eyes, reality shifts.

Can you tell what’s real and what’s a nightmare?

  • Look for clues to figure out if you're still dreaming.

  • Make the right choices to escape—or stay trapped.

  • Face unpredictable nightmares where nothing is as it seems.

Playtime:

  • 30-60 minutes

Difficulty Levels:

  • Easy: 1 minute before each blink. Sitting in a chair gives you more time.

  • Normal: 1 minute before each blink. Escaping a nightmare might lead to another one.

  • Insanity: Every failed escape throws you into a new nightmare. Escaping one brings you back to the last—stay focused.
