The Dream Machine: Chapter 1 & 2 - Cockroach
Festive Greetings everyone!

We just released a small set of tweaks. Some of you have requested that the game window not float on top of other windows – and we listened! The "always on top" behaviour was originally implemented to side-step some graphical issues, but since those have been solved we decided to remove the behaviour entirely.

Update notes:

- Game: Turned off "always on top" game window behaviour
- Game: Added default Steam Input configurations
- Game: Tweaked credits
- Chapter 1 & 4: Improved toilet flushing sound quality
- Chapter 2, 4, 5 & 6: Added dream machine sounds
- Chapter 3: Tweaked parasol interaction
- Chapter 3: Removed umbrella drink requirement

Don't be shy if you encounter any problems in the game.

Cheers,

People of the world!

Since it's Halloween, we thought it would be nice to offer a discount on the game. So if you've been on the fence about this game, now's the time to pounce!

Thank me later!

Hello World!

We just released an optimization update related to the books. Some players experienced low frame rates when reading the books, so we wanted to address that. This update should improve performance while reading books.

If you're still experiencing problems, disabling the Steam overlay might also boost performance.

Update notes:

• Chapter 3, 4 & 5: Fixed rasterization problem related to text in books
• Chapter 3, 4 & 5: Removed filter effects in books
• Chapter 4 & 5: Fixed typo

As for now, the diary books in Chapter 2 have yet to be fixed, but we're working on that as well.

Don't be shy if you encounter any problems in the game.

Cheers,

Fellow Dreamers!

In celebration of the release of The Gateway Trilogy, we're discounting the price of The Dream Machine! So if you've been on the fence about buying it, now's the time! And when you're done playing it, rejoice in knowing that there's a whole new game experience waiting for you on the other side! What could be better than that, huh?

I hope you're all doing well and stay safe during this bleak time!

Mellow greetings!

We've been working hard to finalizing the game during these last couple of months, but we're now starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The game is in a good enough state that I can confidently say that we will be releasing on March 31st.

In order to celebrate the coming release we made a spiffy new trailer. Feel free to spread it to everyone, including those awkward friends you haven't talked to in a few years, you know the ones...



We hope you like it! Wishlist and follow if you haven't already!

Cheers,
