About This Game

The Dream Machine is an award-winning point & click adventure about exploring other people’s dreams

Delve into surreal, hand-crafted worlds built from real physical materials as you uncover the secrets of a strange apartment building — and the people who live there.

The Definitive Edition includes all chapters, reworked endings, new locations, and improved sound and visuals.

All Chapters Included

Originally released episodically, the story is now presented as one continuous experience, featuring reworked final chapters and additional content throughout.

Worlds You Can Almost Touch

Every environment is constructed from physical models and hand-crafted sets, creating a uniquely tactile visual style that feels unsettlingly real.

And The Kitchen Sink

The game is built entirely from real-world materials — including clay, cardboard, paper, carpet samples, broccoli, coffee grounds, pork chop trimmings, ping pong balls, condoms, and small plastic babies to name just a few.

A Fresh Start

Play as Victor Neff, who has just moved into a new apartment with his pregnant wife. As you settle in, it becomes clear that the building — and its residents — conceal something beneath the waking façade.

House Of Your Dreams

Explore a dilapidated apartment estate, where peeling paint and creaking floors hint at hidden secrets. Meet your neighbors. Earn their trust. Uncover what they’re hiding.

Dream Logic Required

Solve puzzles ranging from simple interactions to devious brainteasers, all integrated naturally into the world and story.

Sounds From Somewhere Else

A haunting original soundtrack and unsettling sound design drift through the experience, amplifying the surreal atmosphere of each location.

The Machine, Reassembled

The game has been painstakingly reconstructed in a new engine, delivering smoother gameplay, improved visuals, and enhanced audio, letting every dream ripple and unfold more vividly than ever before.
