I am currently about to complete a very interesting system — a linking system between different dreams.

Compared to the Demo stage, which only presented isolated dream experiences, this system can now naturally string different dreams together, building a truly interconnected dream network.

This is not just switching between scenes, but a completely new structure. Through a newly added feature — the Dream Transition mechanism — you will be able to truly travel within the world of dreams.

Imagine:

One second, you are at home scrolling on your phone, surrounded by a familiar room and faint screen light; The next second, you are standing on a deserted island, with sea wind roaring, a vast sky above, and sand beneath your feet that feels unbelievably real.

This kind of transition is no longer linear. It is not simply “entering the next level.” Dreams are no longer separated from each other, but instead permeate, extend, and interweave.

You can even dream within a dream, and directly return from one dream layer to the previous layer — time and space begin to intersect, fold, and become distorted.

This structure naturally forms a multi-layered dream labyrinth.

Inside this labyrinth:

  • Conventional logic will gradually fail

  • Linear paths will no longer be reliable

  • Causality will begin to become blurred

  • Reality and imagination will interpenetrate

You may return from a scene that seems like an ending back to the starting point, or discover completely unfamiliar exits within familiar spaces. Every transition becomes a challenge to perception and cognition.

This is no longer traditional level design. It is a spatial system constructed by the rules of dreams themselves — interconnected and continuously expanding.

I hope that through this “dream within a dream” structure, I can bring you an unpredictable and uncategorizable new experience — a truly dreamlike experience.

A new Demo will be updated soon, where you will be able to experience this dream traversal mechanism for the first time.

Thank you for your continued support.
