Millennium Dream

Millennium Dream is a solo-developed walking and photography simulator set in dreams shaped by Chinese Dreamcore aesthetics. You wander alone through familiar but deserted places, including a sunlit bedroom, a pedestrian street you once walked along with your mother after school, and an empty campus where you once battled day and night. There are no jump scares or task lists; the game focuses on fragments of everyday life that have since disappeared.

Familiar places

The dreamlike scenes combine quiet nostalgia with a slight sense of unease. Their structures and spaces feel like a return to your childhood home, yet also seem foreign.

Changing weather

You can control the cycles of rain, snow, dawn and dusk to change the atmosphere of each scene. An afternoon filled with cicada sounds can give way to heavy snow, while twilight rain can shift into a misty morning.

Photography

Use the camera to capture the scenes and your connection to the dream. Choose a grainy old-mobile-phone filter to recreate the raw textures of the millennium, or high-contrast black-and-white film to capture light and shadow.

Objects from the past

You can set the alarm on a puppy clock or wind up a tin frog with a loose spring. Rotate and inspect these objects; the marks left by time may open a door to the past.
