About This Game

Yesterdreamt is a 2D Metroidvania focusing on precise shooting, unlockable spells, and keeping your sanity intact.

Unlockable spells

Look out for the Conclave cards, scattered across the Broken Lands. Match three cards for each spell to unlock it and wield its power.

Precise shooting

As a gunslinger, you are trained to shoot with your Eye. Aim 360° around you to score critical hits and take out opponents quicker.

Protect your sanity

Even with a Dreamweaver nearby, you are now in the Inbetween, and your sanity is at risk. Between the unnatural horrors roaming the lands, the mental toll of wielding powerful spells, and unseeable scenes etched in your memory, you will need to balance staying alive with staying sane. Remember, don't believe everything you see.

Your story

You are Folke, Gunslinger in training. After losing your master, you're not sure how to finish your training, or if it's even possible. But you have sworn the Creed, so you must protect the people of Indringhem. It is your sworn duty. With only an ever-sleeping Dreamweaver as your company, you must follow the Land Shackles to Brucsele, through the Inbetween and bring back salvation.

The Worlde of Yesterdreamt

The Eld Riche was quite literally torn asunder by the Calamity. From the Inbetween came unspeakable horrors, and people drew back into the Burghs for safety.

The Land Shackles were created to keep the Burghs from drifting further apart. Thaumaturges, a secretive caste of hooded figures who wielded the most powerful magicks, used their Authority to appoint the Dreamweavers. The Weavers would make the ultimate sacrifice, for in their eternal slumber they powered the Reverie, a protective ward against the Inbetween. For a time, this kept the Burghs safe and all its inhabitants sane. All inhabitants, save for the Gunslingers, who were tasked with patrolling the Land Shackles. One by one, the Inbetween took them.

Now the Reverie is failing. The thaumaturge of Idringhem says his ritual no longer restores the power of the ward. He needs to consult the books of the thaumaturges of Brucsele. But after losing their last Gunslinger, contact between Idringhem and the other Burghs was lost.
