story

Benjamin is a socially inept teenage writer who struggles with depression, loneliness, and writer’s block. 

When he decides to try lucid dreaming to figure out how to push his story forward, he meets new friends, new enemies, and his literal dream girl. 

Making certain choices will either help or hurt his relationships, and the outcome of his story.

This game is inspired by other media such as Yume Nikki, choice-driven games by Telltale Games, Greek Pygmalion, Brave New World, and CLAMP's manga.
