In recent nights, your dreams have been haunted by a city of unknown origin. It stands as an enigma to you, with parts of its design and structure seemingly mocking the familiarities of human architecture. Feeling drawn to something, you begin exploring the city.
Vignettes: The Dream City is a dungeon crawler set in the surreal city you've been dreaming about, ceaselessly, for months. Throughout your exploration of the dream you could meet other dreamers, find rare loot, discover unknowable truths, and damage your psyche forever. All within the dream world, of course.
