A Dogs Dream

A Dogs Dream is a surreal narrative adventure about Cloud, a dog taken by an alien on his 25th birthday. You show the alien a series of dreams, where strange events conceal the truth. If you make the alien angry, they might suck the Earth like a candy.

Stories in dreams

The game contains dozens of short, surreal stories with countless choices and emotional scenes built around dreamlike themes. Choices shape your journey, and sometimes the strangest option is the bravest. Each dream has a different protagonist, and the stories range from funny and absurd visions to dark and terrifying nightmares.

Escape the ship

By day, you explore the ship while staying out of the aliens’ line of sight. You fight through brutal encounters and surreal anomalies to find an escape route, recruit allies and move through shadowy back corridors while the alien tracks you.

Dreambugs and the alien

You can put the alien into a deep sleep to earn Dreambugs, which you can grind for helpful items. The alien seems lonely, but making it sad might be a mistake.

The hidden story

A touching main story lies within a chain of small dreams. As you uncover its ending, you create the end of a greater story about how a small dog might save the world. The game is inspired by Maki Sasaki’s “Street of the Beach,” The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Osamu Tezuka’s “Phoenix” and One Thousand and One Nights.
