In Dreams III

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 is trapped inside a church. A along the pews are tv screens showing violent scenes involving the figures referred to as “them”. When the player makes their way to the front of the church, they can read the book on the altar. The words “Something wicked this way comes” appear and when the player looks up, all the figures are staring at them from the tv screens. The roof of the church is lifted and a giant stares back at the player. The game ends. I wanted to experiment with progress based on the player’s actions. The giant only appears once the player reads the book. I also tried to create some sense of scale to the giant, having them appear from the fog and still being partially obscured by it.
