About This Game

Once, an ancient village was flooded to provide electricity for a rising scientific town nearby. That was the price of its founder’s dream.
The town was meant to become an oasis of scientific progress - home to the greatest university in the world. But not every dream is destined to come true.

Academ Dreams is a surreal story about dreams lost and found - and the price that must be paid for them.

You play as Dreams, a young man who buried his dreams long ago as a child. Together, you return to the town of his childhood only to find that the place once filled with warm memories has become almost unrecognizable. A university has risen where his childhood drawings were once buried beneath the earth.

Here, the dead return to life. Fog drifts endlessly across the cursed sea. Occult parties light up the nights with strange fires and dancing silhouettes. Behind the familiar streets lie the intertwined stories of the town’s residents - their pasts, mistakes, obsessions, and secrets woven into one larger mystery.

Can Dreams avoid losing himself in the lives of others and reclaim the dreams he abandoned long ago? Can he overcome the anger and hatred consuming him from within?

Academ Dreams is a single-player narrative adventure told across 11 chapters. Explore a gradually unfolding world, solve light puzzles, meet bizarre locals, and uncover the hidden heart of the Town itself.

Most importantly - stop the Chairman, whose selfish ambitions have already reached deep into the very soul of the community!

Join Dreams and discover what is truly worse:
burying your dreams… or holding onto them until the very end.

Features:

• An 11-chapter story about identity, difficult choices, and their consequences. With each chapter, the tension rises, and the quiet little town sinks deeper into chaos!

• Numerous animated cinematics that deepen immersion and bring key story moments to life

• Exploration, dialogue, and light puzzle-solving that constantly reveal new layers of the mystery
