Before playtesting opens, we wanted to share some details on how ONEiRA's NPCs are brought to life. ✨✨✨

We're moving out of the greybox zone and are currently adding in the details! And of course, more mushrooms...

We're redesigning our first level. 🫣

As our team and vision grew, we found the old level wasn't up to par anymore. Here's a first look at our progress!

Not everything in ONEiRA is as it seems—especially its NPCs.

Shaped by trauma, they speak only in half truths and metaphors. And somehow... they know you?

Some of the best games are born in a game jam (Celeste!!!); fueled by sleep deprivation, sticky notes, and an oddly specific prompt.

If you’re waiting for the “right time” to join one, consider this your sign 🪧
