Dream & Sugar

Dream & Sugar is a visual novel about relationships, love and the transition to adulthood. You play as Nora, a recent art college graduate who hopes to become an independent artist and install her own art gallery. You can reconnect with your college bestie Riley, pursue musician Hugo, befriend author Bennett, or focus on Nora’s art goals instead.

Choices and endings

Branching dialogue lets you shape how Nora responds in each scene, with paths featuring different dialogue. You can review the full dialogue of your choices before selecting one, then choose to be brash, funny, empathetic or mix your responses. Social choices include where to go on dates, whom to flirt with and how to handle encounters. Your decisions can lead to more than ten unique endings, involving friendship or romance and choices about relationships, career or focusing on yourself.

Character and romance

During character creation, you can choose Nora’s name, physical gender presentation and pronouns, including non-binary pronouns. These choices do not restrict which romantic options you can pursue, and you can also play aromantically. The game reflects your character choices in dialogue while keeping all of its romantic options available.

Art minigame

During the story, you can choose to draw in an interactive art minigame. You can save your images to your computer. If you prefer to skip drawing, default images made by the staff and demo team let you move on through the story.
