Dual-dream online

The idea I want to express is my experience of false awakening and lucid dreams. I dreamed I was sleeping in the dream and had to awake twice to get up entirely.

Then I realized I could remember what I’ve dreamed and the scenes happening in the dream. I think many people have these kinds of experiences and I would like to make it into an experimental game. The players are actually in the scene of dreams. I am also inspired by multiple layers of dreams in the movie “Inception.”

For the interface, I want to make it low poly since the dream world is obscure and blurry. There will be three scenes in this game—the real world, the dream, the dream world inside the dream (2nd layer of the dream). I decided to use full color in the real world scene and use monochrome for dreams, for example, gray scales. Players could be lost and reset in the dream world. They need to find  NPCs to talk to and find key clues to go back to the real world (go back to the 1st layer of the dream then go back to reality).
