Game Introduction
Oneiric Drift is a first-person psychological puzzle game about the thin line between consciousness and collapse.
You wake in a sealed room after an experimental “cognitive enhancement” procedure. Reality wavers. Objects from your dreams begin materializing around you—fear, desire, memory, all surfacing as something you can touch.
With only a camera in hand, you must explore a shifting dreamscape, capture fragments of your own subconscious, and confront what rises in the waking world. Each photograph changes the room. Each discovery pushes you closer to a truth your mind may no longer withstand.
Escape and recover enough of yourself before your thoughts unravel.
Inspiration
Development Highlight
Object-matching system: items photographed in the dream scene are linked to their corresponding objects in the real scene, enabling them to appear after being “captured”
Final door reveal mechanic: completing the collage triggers the formation of a door-shaped pattern and opens the escape route
Non-linear storyline: allowing players to piece together the story at their own pace by choosing the order in which they find items
Working Plan for the Final Show
Add more objects to make the game more engaging
Polish the environment, such as lighting and other special effects
