Sweet Dreams Dahlia
I wake beneath the ruins of a world built on dreams. I descend the shattered Tower, explore forgotten biomes, master ancient combat techniques, and face the consequences of my absence. Beautiful metroidvania about identity, guilt, and choice after the collapse of a powerful civilization.

About this game
Play as Dahlia, awakened from an endless sleep with no memories and Axo, an unlikely flying companion bound to her fate.
Together, they descend into a fallen civilization consumed by the Crystal Plague, exploring ancient lands, surviving lethal traps, and fighting creatures twisted beyond recognition. Every step forward reveals fragments of a past that was buried for a reason.
Uncover who Dahlia truly is! And decide whether this broken world deserves to be rewritten.
