In developmentComing to Steam

It starts on the couch. Donna falls asleep watching a knight on TV, and wakes up as the hero.

A new dream. Every run.

Four worlds built so far, from Mosswatch Forest to Crownfall Castle. Fall, and the dream ends. What Donna found in it stays.

  • A new dream every runNew routes, new encounters, new choices. One fall and it is over.
  • Bite, sweep, launch, slamChain three-hit combos, launch enemies into the air, juggle them and finish with a slam. Dash through an attack and hit back harder.
  • Fire, frost, stormFire on your quick attacks, frost on your heavies, or storm on both. Six elemental routes and nine capstones to build toward.
  • A dream with teethRat soldiers, squirrel archers, shield bears and axe captains. Every world brings its own crowd.
  • Wake up strongerBring Dream Shards home to the Dream Keep and spend them on upgrades that stay for good.
