About the Game

YOU KNOW IT IS A DREAM. THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT SAFE.

The Null Dream is a first-person psychological horror game set inside a dream built from familiar places, incomplete memories, and details that do not remain where they belong.

Explore alone or enter the dream with up to five other players. Search for answers, solve environmental puzzles, and pay attention to what changes around you.

THE DREAM DOESN'T STAY STILL

Rooms may change when you return to them. Objects can appear where they were not before. A familiar path may lead somewhere entirely different the next time you follow it.

The dream rarely explains what has changed - or why... You will need to notice the difference yourself.

LOOK CLOSER

There is no persistent HUD pulling your attention away from the world.

Examine your surroundings, interact with objects, follow environmental clues, and piece together information hidden within the dream. Details that initially seem insignificant may become important later.

THE SAME PLACE. A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE.

Play in online co-op with up to five other players.

You may stand in the same room and not experience the same event. Something visible to one player may remain hidden from everyone else. Communication can reveal what the dream is showing - but it may also make you question whose version of reality is correct.

PIECE TOGETHER WHAT HAPPENED

The story is not presented in a simple order.

Discover fragmented memories, examine abandoned and distorted locations, and solve environmental puzzles to understand why you entered the dream-and what connects the people trapped inside it.
