Where even dreams may die!

In DREAMESCAPE, You play as a dreaming spirit, trapped behind the door of sleep by dream's tyrannous gods. To escape and win the game, you must explore the ever-changing landscape of the Dreamlands of the Cthulhu Mythos - travelling through many hundreds of unique story encounters - to find the correct key and its matching gate that will lead out of the realm and let you awaken from the nightmare. Success means coming awake, but failure leads to insanity, locked forever in a dream within your own mind!

Dreamescape is a RPG-like narrative exploration and adventure game driven by story encounter cards that you draw from various story decks. Each encounter offers roleplay-style choices for the player to choose from to advance the story. Your choices create narrative branches that drive your game (each time you play) in new diverging directions. The chances of success of these encounters is based on a set of pseudo-skills dictated by your Character, the Equipment and the Lore that the player has accumulated during the game so far; but also by previous knowledge (your memory as a player) of the game having being played previously.

There are 6 uniquely unusual Dreamers (characters) for you to choose from in this base game, with 5 starting scenarios and over 300 story encounter cards to delve into. A further 150 Item/Artifact and Lore cards add to the highly varied narrative experience.

The game offers multiple levels of interwoven story arcs and plot lines to keep you occupied and guessing each time you play and uniquely incorporates classic dream experiences (such as Deja vu and Lucid Dreaming) as actual mechanisms you can use in the game to stay ahead of the minions of Cthulhu. There are many hidden puzzles, traps and lore that is locked away in the game waiting for you to uncover and solve but all knowledge comes at a price. The more you experience in game the greater the chance of being driven deeper into slumber and potential insanity!
