Where even dreams may die!
DreamEscape is a card game hybrid of choose-your-path style narrative adventure and Cthulhu novella.
Great Cthulhu has trapped your sleeping mind in the Dreamlands. Your dream-self has shattered into multiple fragments, scattered throughout the dream world. It is your task to recover these lost fragments, unravel the story secrets and survive long enough to find the correct key and matching gate to escape and wake up!
To win you must avoid, adapt or overcome the many dangers of this nightmare world. In this solo RPG-like survival horror game you must carefully manage your pool of skills and resources, find rare items, gain secret knowledge and wield two uniquely powerful abilities - Deja vu and Lucid dreaming - to stay ahead of the minions of Cthulhu.
Explore many hundreds of unique story encounters on your quest to recover the mind fragments and find a Dreamgate to let you wake from the nightmare. Failure will lead to insanity, locked forever in a dream within your own mind!
Dreamescape is a narrative exploration game driven by story card encounters. Each encounter offers roleplay-like choices that drive the game in divergent directions so the game evolves differently each time you play. Repeated play rewards your play experience as you will uncover different parts of the story puzzle. The chances of success is based on your skills, equipment and lore you have gain so far, your memory of previous games guiding you towards success!
There are 6 asymmetric Dreamer characters to choose from, each with their own backstory to unravel. ~400 encounter cards, ~100 Items and Lore cards to discover combine to provide a highly varied narrative experience.
The game offers multiple levels of interwoven story arcs and plot lines to keep you occupied and guessing each time you play. There are many hidden puzzles, traps and lore locked away in the game waiting for you to uncover... but all knowledge comes at a price. The more you experience, the greater your chances of being driven into insanity!
