About Strange Dream

About the Dream


You had a dream, but you discovered you can't wake up.

In this strange dreamscape woven from Chinese nostalgia, childhood memories, and liminal spaces, everything reasonable yet unreasonable will happen. You can only explore step by step and finally choose whether to return to that bustling, real-world city...

Main Styles

  • Core: Chinese Dreamcore, Liminal Space, Nostalgic Tear-jerker
  • Other Styles: Kidcore, Oldcore, Concretecore, Toiletcore, Frutiger Aero, Y2K

Exploration & Gameplay


The core of "Strange Dream" is immersive atmospheric exploration, but it is by no means limited to a walking simulator. Scattered throughout the dream are various fun minigame levels waiting for you to discover. Every exploration may bring an unexpected surprise.

It always pains me to write a negative review for an indie game, especially a solo dev project. But this one is just BAD. We've got a good comparison - Millenium Dream by LucidDreamLab which has basically the same Chinese liminal nostalgia vibe but everything in it is made on a high level and I'm saying that knowing it used AI too (as someone who's a 100% hater of AI in art) yet I still gave that game a positive review. But Strange Dream is just poorly made. Why do you use AI at all and so much of it? If you're trying to make players feel liminality with that real sense of unease and eerie vibe - how am I supposed to feel any of that when everything was clearly just dumped into some AI model generator or just photographed on a phone and put in AI app and called it a day? Wtf lol. Objects scattered around with zero logic. Added mini-games? Cool... but where are the mechanics? Why am I getting scraps of scraps with each level? And talking about game testing.. holes are everywhere and you can easily fall through and it's obviously not that "haha you noclipped out of reality, it's the backrooms" kind of intentional, NO - it's just a bad game. Animals have no animations, they're just pr…

i just played for a little but that amount of time was enough to show that this was a bad game. most assets in the game are AI generated, graphics and game design are lazy, and the game is just unpolished. do not buy this game. its just a mess. go play millennium dream instead.
