DreamEscape is a narrative decision-driven survival adventure game for solo players (or 2 player semi co-op). Every choice you make in every encounter alters the flow of your story, leading to new discoveries and revealing hidden mysteries (sometimes even good ones)!
With 6 characters to choose from and over a hundred hours of evolving story to explore, puzzles to solve and dangers to avoid or overcome, each playthrough will offer a new experience!
In Dreamescape you play one of six Dreamers, trapped in the nightmare of Great Cthulhu.
To escape and win, you must thoroughly explore the nine Realms of dream, encounter dangers and denizens at every step, and uncover the clues leading to the secret gate and matching key that will release you from the nightmare!
Dreamescape is a deeply immersive experience where every encounter forces difficult choices upon you… and no two games will ever be the same! Repeat play is a must as you will very often die. Yet each time you revisit the Dreamlands, a bit more of the hidden story will be revealed, giving you a better chance at survival!
But your task will not be easy!
Cthulhu’s nightmares eat away at your sanity and memories of the real world. Only by careful management of your precious resources, discovering secret keycodes, items or lore and by harnessing your unique powers of Déjà vu and Lucid Dreaming, can you hope to stay ahead of his minions and escape.
The game’s use of puzzle ‘Rune’ tokens and hidden secret Keycodes provide a range of alternative outcomes to RPG-like choices in every encounter. The powerful dream abilities of Déjà vu and Lucid Dreaming help by offering secret insights into the mystery or by giving you wondrous capabilities! But beware – the more you influence the Dreamlands around you, the stronger Cthulhu’s influence over your Dreamer becomes…
DreamEscape is a standalone product. But is also Volume one of the Dreamquest narrative campaign series which will take you on a frightening but fantastical journey as truly epic as those of Randolph Carter. Explore the darkest reaches of the cosmos, uncover mind-shattering truths and unravel the awful mystery that builds throughout the series. Dive into the depths of the Abyss, walk the gothic streets of Carcosa or witness the birthing of a starspawn on Yuggoth!
Four additional ‘Realm’ boxes (sold separately) continue your adventures into other regions of the Dreamlands, seamlessly integrating and adding further encounters, adventure and danger to the Dreamescape base game.
