Updated for June 2023 - fixed the physics issue and added an option to skip the intro entirely.

A brief, strangely familiar tale of a man who got into trouble at his job and now spends his time all alone, dreaming of better days.
This contribution to DDJ4 has been a real adventure. There's a lot of graphics and areas that are incomplete and the effects are pretty lame as they were becoming massive time sinks, but there are still two effects to find and some areas to explore. What more could a dreamer ask for!
Due to time pressures I've not had a chance to validate that VR support still works as it should. I deprioritised this as I figured most users won't have a VR headset - if you do have one and it does/doesn't work, let me know. Likewise if you find any issues please drop me a line. Note that in my own testing I found that after quite a lot of game time, Firefox would start consuming a lot of system memory. Chrome doesn't seem to do this.

Wanted to try this out, by the mouse randomly stopped functioning after I enter the first door on the left in the hub area so I can't turn the camera left or right.
It makes me long for a proper 3D fangame where you can gaze into the dream world, look at what's above you, behold the endless horizon... I had an attempt at this effect in Ep3, but it was just a full-screen event. This game, however, is full on 3D, and I think it's the closest I've seen to a true 3D Yume Nikki fangame! The environments are fun to move around in and the larger ones are very pleasant to the eyes. I like the teleport maze especially. Again, it makes me wish for a proper 3D Yume Nikki-style teleport maze where you can not only see other teleportation points in the maze, but also gaze into the void that surrounds you. This game has this, but on a small scale, and in an early, buggy state. Still, it's good while it lasts, and your music is on point as usual! Good job, I'd love to see more!
Thank you very much for your kind words <3 I had hoped to keep working on this and polishing post release but fitting in with my own stereotype of DDJ entries, I have not :( I learned tons putting this together though and I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
You're welcome! Also, on an unrelated note, your music reminds me a lot of Jon Holland, the guy who made the music for the Vectorman games on the Genesis/Master System. Unfortunately, I can't find much of his stuff online other than the Vectorman soundtracks and the amazing Vectorman Arrange Album, but it sounds like it would be right up your alley. Anyway, good job on the game! Even if you don't continue, hopefully it'll inspire others to follow in your steps.
