Dream Sketcher

Dream Sketcher is a tabletop role-playing game in which a crisis of “mad dreams” has swept humanity. As an investigator, you enter the dreams of patients trapped in the crisis, investigate and solve puzzles, and try to save them.

Investigate the dreams

Adventures use themes such as disaster, folk horror, adventure and mystery. Random scenes, encounters and deduction plots shape each run. You can find hidden items and clues that lead to unexpected truths, and each script has more than five endings shaped by your choices.

The adventures include the unpredictable Infinite Reincarnation Tower, with Chinese folk-horror events such as calling souls, chasing corpses and ghost brides. Other scenarios include horror-game variety shows and player duels in American mansions, where someone may become possessed.

Roll and build your deck

Classic TRPG rules use dice rolls to determine how events unfold, including whether you succeed or suffer an unexpected accident. You can choose from more than 150 cards to build a deck around an investigator’s expertise and the adventure’s genre, then adapt your strategy to the cards in your hand.

Investigators and multiplayer

Investigators have different abilities and use their expertise to face challenges. Each may have an unknown past, and some NPCs can become unlockable investigators.

You can team up with other players and interact in different ways. During “crazy mode,” for example, players can whip a “masochist” or scare a “fright addict”; whether to sacrifice your teammates is up to you.
