About This Demo

Fight through fast-paced runs inside a shifting nightmare where each attempt offers new weapons and a choice of evolving upgrades. Defeat enemies to become stronger, create your build, and adapt to escalating threats. The world rearranges every time you fall, pushing you to experiment, survive longer, and reach the core of this unstable reality.

Dream is a place outside our universe, a parallel layer of existence, an alternative reality that follows you. It's unstable, has a weird cycle, and can glitch.

If you realize you're sleeping, you risk staying in the dream forever unless you reach the center of the dream and destroy it from the outside. Death in a dream will lead to waking up in it again — it is a closed circle, an eternity from which there is only one way out.

Sleep reacts to you, your feelings and emotions, desires, and fears. It reflects you. If you try to kill it, it will react and resist. In this battle, it will force you to see your strangest thoughts and fears, which will aim to break you. Whether you can withstand it depends only on you and your resilience.
