A downloadable game for Windows

A Psychological Horror Dreamscape

Their Dream is a short horror experience built on trying to make you feel uncomfortable, with a sense of paranoia and danger lurking merely a few steps away. With a wisp of wonder and fear on what you will find as no playthrough will ever be the same. Thus it is highly recommended you play through more then once. The game will start as if your falling asleep, you're mind beginning to relax, falling into a deep slumber till you're thoughts begin to bloom and wander. Forming countless possibilities and ideas- But with everyone, day soon arrives and those thoughts become distorted as your mind slowly awakes till eventually. 

You're dream fades away.

Except you may never awake.


The game is heavily inspired by a dream from one of my friends with a little added on-top to give it more of a gameplay loop. Developed in just over a week. Me, and those who helped both inspire and develop this idea hope you enjoy the experience.

For those who liked the music the songs can be listened too here!

Walking down hallways, in the hope to get out. Or was it in...? I forgot or I don't know. Do I?

Riddle me this. Riddle me that. Riddle me in my dreams. Welcome to the wonderful world of, "Their Dream."

Need me to pinch you? Just buy and play the damned thing already.

Thanks for making this game. I utterly enjoyed playing it!

 t
thank for this game !

Interesting game. It might've been cool to see it tell a sparse story along the way with the decorations, or to have it increase the tension a bit occasionally to keep the player on edge. Thanks for sharing the vision, and interested to see what you do with the idea!

Dude. I just finished this game a few minutes ago. I had a screwdriver and an edible, and stoned out of my mind right now. I felt like I've been playing it for hours, but it only took me around 15 minutes to finish it. I am sitting at my desk, high as a kite, and shaking from actual terror.

I did not expected for this game to be different each time you play, kudos for work.

You have created quite the beautiful game, played it a few times on my own after making this video, and have to say that each playthrough really has it's own feel to it. Looking forward to your future creations, already planing on taking a look at Phil.

Thank you so much! You have no idea how happy this makes me feel. As prior to this I had been really struggling to regain the motivation to even make a game in the first place. But after a close friend sparked some motivation in me, I was able to actually complete something! So to hear that you not only enjoyed what I made but are even looking forward to what I will make in the future really puts a smile on my face and makes me feel hopeful. 

P.S. Phil is a joke game and is intentionally difficult though I hope you are able to beat it and get a good laugh from it.

nice loop scary

thank you
