Dreamsink is a narrative-driven adventure focused on psychological emotions. Set within the subconscious illusions of a comatose protagonist, the story follows her journey to collect clues, dismantle negative beliefs, and help others resolve their psychological struggles, ultimately leading to self-reconciliation.
With subconscious exploration at its core, the game integrates professional psychological knowledge into its mechanics. By combining emotional expression with interactive gameplay, we hope players can experience various psychological challenges and the process of cognitive restructuring, gaining a deeper understanding of grief and the true meaning of making peace with oneself.
Players will follow the protagonist’s perspective to gather clues, verify facts, and reconstruct cognitions. The fragments of the protagonist's lost memories are woven throughout this illusory journey, serving as a guiding thread toward the truth.
