I wake beneath the ruins of a world built on dreams. I descend the shattered Tower, explore forgotten biomes, master ancient combat techniques, and face the consequences of my absence. Beautiful metroidvania about identity, guilt, and choice after the collapse of a powerful civilization.
Sweet Dreams Dahlia
Steam
Play as Dahlia, awakened from an endless sleep with no memories and Axo, an unlikely flying companion bound to her fate.
Together, they descend into a fallen civilization consumed by the Crystal Plague, exploring ancient lands, surviving lethal traps, and fighting creatures twisted beyond recognition. Every step forward reveals fragments of a past that was buried for a reason.
Uncover who Dahlia truly is! And decide whether this broken world deserves to be rewritten.
Explore a vast, beautiful world and solve the mysteries of three different races.
Fight a formidable collection of foes and bosses.
Upgrade for every challenge with powerful new skills and abilities for Dahlia and Axo.


Explore a vast, hand-crafted world once ruled by three distinct races, each with its own beliefs, culture, and downfall. Their lands now decay in different ways - silent cities, infected sanctuaries, forgotten machines still humming with purpose.
The plague didn’t just kill them. It changed them.
Why do the corrupted attack Dahlia and Axo on sight? And what does her awakening have to do with the kingdom’s collapse?


Face a wide array of enemies and bosses. From swift predators to towering monstrosities born of crystal and memory.
Survival isn’t about strength alone, it’s about learning the rules of a world that no longer follows them.


Discover, craft, and unlock powerful runes and abilities for both Dahlia and Axo.
Every upgrade changes how you move, fight, and explore.
