CAN YOU ESCAPE YOUR DREAMS?

--- INFO ---
The game saves automatically.

Press F for Fullscreen
Press Z to disable custom cursor (if you are having trouble with the cursor)

--- DISCLAIMER ---
Currently the web version of the game has some issue for macOS users (may freeze the browser and take a long time to load) but the standalone downloaded version should work perfectly.

The game will pause if you switch to another browser tab (sorry, it's the game engine).
To circumvent this issue you can open another browser window with the only tab being this page or download the executable.

grande bro

This isn't just a "game." It's an event that divides life into "before" and "after."

You know, there's Hans Zimmer's music in Interstellar—the organ chords that permeate space, making you feel the infinity of time and the fragility of human existence. Well, this game sounds exactly like that. Only instead of notes, there's your choice, your fear, and your hope.

It gave me a new life. Not figuratively, but literally—I had to be reborn. I looked at the pixels, the laws of the universe. I pressed the button, and felt the gravity of the past pulling me down, and the light of the future beckoning me forward.

This rethinking of everything in the world isn't needed through pompous monologues. It came through the silence between actions. You understand: we're all just grains of sand here, but your grain of sand can move a galaxy.

I suddenly realized that time isn't a line, but a spiral. That loneliness isn't a curse, but a cosmic privilege that allows one to hear oneself. That love, death, heroism, and sacrifice aren't just plot tropes, but a single definition of measure in this chaos.

This is a perfect game. Not because it's bug-free or its graphics are photorealistic. But because it gave me optics. Now I look at the morning rain and see particles of distant stars in it. I look at people and see their inner quests. I live and know that every action echoes beyond the event horizon.

Thank you for existing. I returned from this journey a different person. Now I am that same astronaut who emerged from the wormhole and saw Earth from the heights of eternity. You know what? It's beautiful.

Those are some beautiful words. I'm happy this game meant so much for you <3

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
I found the song from the game!!!!!!!!

#3 - Aphex Twin

i only wish it was longer, felt too short for sutch a cool astetic

53 minutes and change.      Nice.


I had trouble scrolling in the menus.   Those scroll bars cannot be clicked-and dragged.  Nor can the arrows be clicked to scroll.  You *can* click on either side of the scroll bar to scroll, or if you have a mouse with a scroll-wheel you can use that to scroll.

beat in 1hr 22min 22sec, a really fun and unique experience unlike other dreamcore/old internet-esque idle games. I will definitely be coming back to this game :)

Played it for the first time tonight and played it all the way to an/the ending. Not familiar with the aesthetic of "Dream Core", but grew up using the interfaces depicted here. A chill and great incremental game.

playing this for the second time, I've realised when I completed the angel that it's tracked how long since my first run started I think? (I hit escape and it says it's taken me 2779 hours), which tbh I think is really cool. I just sat on call with a friend for several hours while her games install on her new PC, both playing this side by side and comparing our stats every time each of us hits a milestone number (another thousand of something, etc), we've both gotten way past completing the game but Number Go Up/we wanna see how much we can max out, we're having a lot of fun :)

You captured the aesthetic so well it's incredible, thank you so much for making it and sharing it with me :)

Would you mind if I used it as the cover art of the game? It's too cool not to be shown.

(1 edit) (+6)

not an issue whatsoever, here is an alt i also did that gives it a gradient :>

(Edit: as long as credit is provided lol forgot to include that part '^^)

I lost count of how many times I have played this game...
My soul refuses to wake up. I love it!

I adored playing this game, thank you for making it. Lot's of lovely touches.

This gave me a very big smile, I am glad you had a good time playing it :)

This game is so addicting bro i love it so much

(+5)

I'm really curious what's going on with "something may lie beyond your dreams," is there actually anything if you keep going or is it just flavortext?

how do you get cassette tapes

juegaso tiene algunos problemas de rendimiento (mi pc es algo vieja) pero es muy adictivo recomendadisimo

si 👍

I was wondering why the game takes up so much application memory on mac?

I keep getting hit with "Your system has run out of memory when running the game". I love the game and would like to continue but currently hit with this as an issue, thank you!

Still one of my all time fave incremental games <3
And no other game i know does win95 theme work as good as this one - i'm kinda tired of most/all "retro windows" games just doing XP Luna theme :|

Worth replaying once in a while <3

Awesome game, but windows client freezes then crashes on startup and the itch client web download gives the attached error.

(1 edit)

Likely something on my end as 5 months later, without any updates, it works.

Although it also might’ve been something on itch’s end.

i liked the music, very chill

(+2)

I'm following you very good game are making a sequel

Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it!

No plans for a sequel for now :)

A 🐱‍👤 (ninja cat) is asking for a sequel.

More 🐱‍👤 are begging for a sequel.

A 😶 (voiceless citizen) wants to speak.
Several 😶 are protesting in front of the City Hall.

Excellently short & sweet (beat in 39 min 31s) — like a much better streamlined version of dodecadragons. Visual design was great, would love to see something like this aesthetic in a longer incremental piece.

Incidentally, on Mac this worked great in the browser but the standalone app freezes every ~3 minutes.

i'm still playing🤦

47m49s :D cool game!
