When an escapist child’s VR mask breaks, he begins to have intense nightmares. He must learn presence through his dream characters to face the shadowy beast he runs from.
Play as TAC, a cyborg cyclops child living on the moon in the year 2300. TAC racks up points in virtual reality and explores the futuristic moonscape with a jetpack to avoid the struggles of family life. But when his routine is disrupted, he’s pulled into a journey deep within his subconscious.
Enter TAC’s dreamscape—a lush crystal island inhabited by an advanced society of axolotls. Solve puzzles, challenges, and hidden mysteries to unlock mini-games and extras, helping TAC become lucid and take control of his dream - but beware, the Dream Shark is always lurking.
