DreamCore

DreamCore is a psychological exploration game that immerses players in the haunting beauty of the largest liminal spaces ever created in a video game.

The game is developed by Montraluz and published by Tlön Industries.

Benefits

DreamCore features a non-linear world where players must unravel mysteries and uncover hidden secrets. The game is designed with no guides, no direction, and no escape but the one players carve for themselves. Observation and intuition are key to navigating the vast, enigmatic labyrinths where every corner hides a mystery and every path bends the rules of reality.

The game captures the uncanny aesthetic of 1980s Found Footage with its grainy, dreamlike VHS-inspired visuals, built in Unreal Engine 5. DreamCore includes several unique environments, each offering a standalone experience:

Dreampools:A surreal maze of endless pools, dimly lit by artificial glow. The tiled walls glisten with reflections, amplifying the stillness of the water. Narrow hallways twist into grand, open chambers, interconnected without apparent logic. The dreamlike calm is absolute, yet the unease never fully fades—an unseen presence always lingers at the edges of your awareness.

Eternal Suburbia:A neighborhood frozen in an eerie, artificial tranquility. Row upon row of identical houses stretch into infinity, each façade a mirror of the last. But once inside, the illusion fractures—hallways loop into themselves, and the once-cozy interiors become an unsettling puzzle. Time flows in cycles of day and night, the warm hum of vintage jazz filling the air during daylight. Yet, instead of comfort, the melodies deepen the isolation. As dusk falls and the shadows stretch long, a single question takes root: are you truly alone in this place?

Playrooms:A sequence of spaces inspired by children’s play areas, recreated with an artificial and silent aesthetic. Throughout the map, players will explore padded rooms, plastic castle structures, ball-filled corridors, netted tunnels, oversized blocks, and printed city carpets. Each area follows the logic of childhood entertainment, but stripped of functionality or human presence. There are no instructions, sounds, or clear direction—progression is entirely up to the player.
