About the Game

A dream.

A dream of a caterpillar, ensnared by obsession.

Repetition. Contamination. The divine. Ill omens——.

Deny the anxiety, deny the fear that floods your mind. Keep your sanity.

——But will the day ever come when wings unfurl upon your back?

Of Caterpillar Dreams is a strange adventure game about obsessive thoughts.

Take on the role of a caterpillar trapped in obsessive thoughts, and perform various "rituals" to silence the anxiety within.

"The number 13 entered my field of vision. A bad omen. Something terrible will happen. Rewrite it as 7."

"A fly touched me. I may contract a serious illness from bacterial contamination. Sterilize everything. Completely."

"I imagined the worst possible future. It will come true. Recite the incantation — take back the future."

Even the smallest failure is unacceptable. Use your mouse and keyboard to perform each ritual without flaw.

  • A psychedelic world and aesthetic

  • Bizarre minigames controlled with mouse and keyboard

  • Short playtime (10–20 min)

This game contains depictions of obsessive thoughts and anxiety. If you experience discomfort or intense anxiety during play, please do not push yourself — it is okay to stop. This game does not claim to be medically accurate.
