In Dreams I

The sixth game of the “12 games in a year” challenge I had set for myself is a lot smaller than others. I wanted a series of games where I could focus on a single unsettling moment, so I started the In Dreams series. In this game, the player finds themself in the middle of the night in their bedroom. They can move freely through the house, but when they come to the balcony on the ground floor, they can overlook the valley below. Over the village in this valley stand three giant figures that are looking down. After a few seconds, the giants turn their heads towards the player, a siren plays, and the screen goes black. I wanted to focus mainly on the atmosphere in this game, creating this dream-like feeling of waking up to a silent world.
