About This Game

Step into the space between dreams.

Dreamcore is a psychological exploration game that immerses you in the haunting beauty of the largest liminal spaces ever created in a video game. With no guides, no direction, and no escape but the one you carve for yourself, the key lies in observation and intuition. Will you keep your bearings in a world designed to make you lose them?

Each environment is a vast, enigmatic labyrinth where every corner hides a mystery and every path bends the rules of reality. There are no monsters or jumpscares—only the eerie silence of abandoned places, the weight of solitude, and the creeping sensation that something is just beyond your perception.

With its grainy, dreamlike VHS-inspired visuals, Dreamcore captures the uncanny aesthetic of 1980s "Found Footage." Every detail, built in Unreal Engine 5, pulls you deeper into its eerie, otherworldly embrace.

Dreampools: A surreal maze of endless pools, dimly lit by artificial glow. The tiled walls glisten with reflections, amplifying the stillness of the water. No sound accompanies you but the distant drip of water and the echo of your own footsteps. Narrow hallways twist into grand, open chambers, interconnected without apparent logic. The dreamlike calm is absolute, yet the unease never fully fades—an unseen presence always lingers at the edges of your awareness.

Eternal Suburbia: A neighborhood frozen in an eerie, artificial tranquility. Row upon row of identical houses stretch into infinity, each façade a mirror of the last. But once inside, the illusion fractures—hallways loop into themselves, and the once-cozy interiors become an unsettling puzzle. Time flows in cycles of day and night, the warm hum of vintage jazz filling the air during daylight. Yet, instead of comfort, the melodies deepen the isolation. As dusk falls and the shadows stretch long, a single question takes root: are you truly alone in this place?

Playrooms: A sequence of spaces inspired by children’s play areas, recreated with an artificial and silent aesthetic. Throughout the map, you'll explore padded rooms, plastic castle structures, ball-filled corridors, netted tunnels, oversized blocks, and printed city carpets. Each area follows the logic of childhood entertainment, but stripped of functionality or human presence. There are no instructions, sounds, or clear direction—progression is entirely up to the player.

Every Level in Dreamcore is a standalone experience, offering a unique blend of exploration and atmosphere. New Levels will be added over time, expanding the game’s world. Early players will receive all subsecuent Maps at no extra cost.
