In this roguelite horror, rescue survivors on a spaceship tainted by nightmares. Track an invisible foe through anomalies leaking into reality. Use the "Dream Shader" to reveal and fight the enemy. Scarce resources and split-second decisions will determine your survival.
The setting: a spaceship. Reality is being consumed by the “nightmare” seen by the crew in cold sleep, leaving the vessel half-ruined.
You must traverse between the real world and the nightmare, rescuing the remaining survivors.
Your only clues are the signs of the nightmare leaking into reality: monitor malfunctions, sudden shifts in temperature, and strange radio signals.
Your tools are a gun, a repair kit, and the Dream Shader—the only device that can visualize the entities from the nightmare.
Navigate through a procedurally generated ship, using a limited set of resources.
Will you fight the nightmare, or avoid it? Will your health last, or will your sanity give out first?
When and where you use your resources—each decision, each second—can mean life or death.
An intense, condensed roguelite horror experience awaits.
The nightmare has a name: “Heavy Dream.”
A fatal risk humanity accepted in exchange for technological advancement.
