Dream Eaters.exe
SteamTrapped in a twisted sleep experiment, you must face ever-changing nightmares and complete tasks to escape. Play solo or team up with up to 4 friends, but beware—the longer you stay, the more terrifying the monsters become. Fail to wake up, and it’s game over, but with each attempt, you’ll grow stronger to survive the next nightmare.

In a covert sleep experiment, a secretive organization traps people to study the boundaries of the human mind. Volunteers, unknowingly subjected to nightly experiments, are forced to face their worst nightmares as they struggle to escape a distorted, dream-like world. With each failed attempt to wake up, their fears become more tangible—nightmarish creatures and horrors take on physical form, growing stronger the longer they remain trapped. As the experiments progress, survival becomes a race against time: can they escape the nightmares before the lab’s twisted reality consumes them forever?

To escape, players must survive consecutive nightmares and eventually break free from the lab. Each night, players face a variety of puzzles, rituals, and tasks to complete in order to wake up. The nightmares are procedurally generated, offering different monsters and challenges each time. If players fail to wake up, their character dies, but they retain some meta progression to help them on future attempts. Team up with up to 4 friends or go solo to face the ever-growing terror.
