Description
Inspiring Dreams is a short narrative adventure game with RPG elements, inspired by To the Moon. Recommended for players who enjoy artistic and emotional games. Strong focus on story and ambiance. Synopsis: A man becomes a ghost after a deadly accident. Full of regrets, he will stay alongside his wife, who cannot see him, and protect her all her life from an unknown evil, sharing her best and worst moments. So close yet so far.
Features
Rich story, written by a professional writer.Following my passion for literature and well-written games.
Rich ambiance and atmosphere.A lot of work has been put in the sound design of the game, to create well-crafted ambiances, sometimes serene, sometimes sad, sometimes scary.
Beautiful visuals and music.Beautiful hand-drawn pixel art that changes according to the in-game seasons. Gorgeous music that sticks to the story. No generative AI used!
Original turn-based combat system.Study each enemy to reveal its weaknesses. All the attacks are selected at random depending on the known weaknesses!
No asset flip.Each asset is crafted by hand for the game.
No generative AI.Everything in the game (story, code, visuals, music...) is made by talented humans WITHOUT the use of any AI!
History
Early passionsI love short games where the story is the main focus. I've reached an age where I can't afford anymore to play games for hundreds of hours, so I'm looking for short and intense experiences. My favorites games include Undertale, Omori, This War of Mine, The Last fo Us and Life is Strange. All story-based, all great.
RealizationI learned to write awesome stories, and I hope to make everyone live immersive and emotionally intense gaming experiences.
