About the Game

The nightmares that haunt your dreams are real, and they are escaping. In this grim-dark horror visual novel with rich narrative choices, psychological tension, and supernatural mystery, the barrier between dreams and reality is breaking, horrors beyond thought are walking into the waking world. As the Dreamweaver’s power wanes, you must navigate a desolate tomb that seems to exist in another world. With branching story-lines, cryptic lore, immersive, atmospheric, Gothic visuals, and haunting ethereal music, explore a world shaped by your decisions. But be warned, every choice you make brings you closer to salvation—or to something worse than death.
