EVERDREAM

DESCRIPTION

Fast, surreal, psychedelic and terribly chaotic, EVERDREAM is the manifestation of a fever dream in the form of a 3D shooter. 

The game is a submission for the seventh Great CITM Game Jam, which had as its theme "dreams and nightmares"

In this game we put ourselves in the shoes of our own personified subconscious who has to fulfill his daily duty: making dreams reach everyone, so they can dream dreamy dreams and not nightmarishly nightmarish nightmares, which aren't welcome!!

Turns out that this Mr. Subconscious guy lives in a dream factory that, like any dream factory that takes itself seriously, generates dreams every day. Those dreams, however, are not fit to being projected into the dreamer's head without first passing through the five levels of the human subconscious that we clearly have not just made up for the realization of the design of this game.

Objective

Run as fast as you can, avoiding all sorts of obstacles and enemies to reach the finish line and deliver the dream to the dreamer.

Beware! The human subconscious is the residence of many fears! You may encounter some nightmarish monsters in your venture, so be quick and make sure to either dodge or destroy those rascals using your ‘nail’ gun!

Also, the subconscious can be as ruthless as it can be unpredictable, which means you have LIMITED TIME on every stage, because, as you may now, risking the physical integrity of oneself is not recommendable! So please, take care of yourself and don’t forget to check the hourglass attached to your left hand that tells you how much time you have left on each level. Unfortunately, there will be cases in which you won’t be able to make it to the end of the stage with the time you’ve been granted, so before this happens, you MUST FLIP THE HOURGLASS to teleport yourself to a place where you’ll be able to recharge time: the NIGHTMARE ROOM. 

Don’t let the name startle you, the Nightmare Room it’s just a chamber filled with lots and lots of nightmares that keep spawning  and won’t stop until you flip your hourglass again. It is recommended that you stay as long as possible in the Nightmare Room, because you don’t know how much extra time you’ll be needing when you return to the subconscious; just… do yourself a favor and DO NOT LOOK UP when you’re in that room, you may find something… unsettling.

JAM SUBTOPICS

• Parallel realities (the subconscious, the Nightmare Room, the dreams, etc.)

• Mirages (never ending loop-holes between levels, fake walls that are disguised monsters, etc.)

• Instability (once mastered, the player and the enemy movement is as unstable as can be)

• Surrealism (pretty self explanatory)
