8 itemsAbout the Game
In The Dream Observatory, you are the Dream Weaver—guardian of dreams and curator of the oniric. Each night, you’ll craft and deliver unique dreamers, who are far from ordinary: a vampire burdened by immortality, a tiefling seeking peace, an angel who fell from grace and much more!
Use your logic emotions and intuition to mix and match Concepts and Dream Cards to guide them through the dream they need most.
Getting to know each dreamer in depth is key to deciding which dream is best for them. Analyze their inner world, desires and make your choice!
You’ll also be able to impact their lives with the power of dreams, if you wish. But beware! If you misread their emotions or choose poorly, you risk insomnia... and consequences that may ripple beyond a single night.
When day breaks, explore the Observatory: gather resources, upgrade your tools, and piece together the secrets hidden within dreams. Get closer to the truth behind the Observatory—and your own role in it.
With a blend of cozy gameplay and narrative depth, The Dream Observatory invites you to shape destinies through dreams, one soul at a time.
