DreamCatcher: Reflections - Volume 1

DreamCatcher: Reflections - Volume 1 is a kinetic visual novel about Riza Wolfe, a high school student who wonders whether life holds more than the ordinary future ahead of her. After receiving a dream catcher, she follows a character she thought she had imagined through a mysterious nexus realm and into a parallel world, where she is said to be one of seven legendary Dreamers.

Riza’s journey

Riza finds the adventure and sense of purpose she longed for, but no one knows why the Dreamers were summoned. Their presence signals that something very bad is coming.

The story follows her across the map as she chases destiny—or is chased by it.
