About This Game

The world is asleep. You're still on the air.

Strange dream tapes wait on the shelf. Three timeslots need a lineup.
One little station on the hill has to keep a whole city dreaming, and the
network has given you twenty-one nights.

Dream Broadcast Simulator is a cozy strategy game about programming a surreal
late-night TV station. Read the tapes, choose three, place each one where it
belongs, lock the signal, and find out what your sleeping audience actually
wanted.

Program the night

Every broadcast has three slots: Midnight, Deep Night, and
Morning Drift. Each dream brings its own mood, slot fit, and hidden
frequencies you only learn by putting it on the air. A comforting memory may
rescue the morning. A nightmare may be exactly what Deep Night needs. Two
unassuming tapes can share a frequency and turn an ordinary lineup into the
night's breakout signal.

The decision is compact. The consequences are not.

Lock the signal

Press GO LIVE and the transmission still has to land. Catch three drifting
phases on the lock line. A pristine lock lifts the whole show; a shaky one can
drag a brilliant lineup back down to earth.

Read the room after every show

Every score explains itself: each slot's result, the frequencies that matched,
gear and combo bonuses, your timing, and how many Dreamers tuned in or drifted
away. Mara, the station's voice and your guide, calls out the risky choices,
the accidental brilliance, and what to try next.

Keep the city dreaming for 21 nights

The Dreamers target climbs every night, from one sleepy neighborhood to the
whole world. Spend credits on station supplies, learn new frequencies, watch
dreams change as you play them, and on night 7 choose your station's callsign
from the tags you have broadcast most. Win the run, then keep the signal going
in endless mode.

Build an archive, and challenge yourself

The archive keeps every tape you have found, with its frequencies and broadcast
history, and you can keep your own note on each dream. Some dreams and station
tools start locked: catch an unknown signal or buy a prototype supply, and it
stays in your archive for every run after.

Want a sharper test? Play the daily seed, take on challenge modes like Ironman
and Minimalist, and compare runs on the leaderboards.
