About this game
Step into the space between dreams.
Dreamcore is a psychological exploration game that immerses you in the haunting beauty of the largest liminal spaces ever created in a video game. With no guides, no direction, and no escape but the one you carve for yourself, the key lies in observation and intuition. Will you keep your bearings in a world designed to make you lose them?
Dreampools: A surreal maze of endless pools, dimly lit by artificial glow. The tiled walls glisten with reflections, amplifying the stillness of the water. No sound accompanies you but the distant drip of water and the echo of your own footsteps. Narrow hallways twist into grand, open chambers, interconnected without apparent logic. The dreamlike calm is absolute, yet the unease never fully fades—an unseen presence always lingers at the edges of your awareness. 
Eternal Suburbia: A neighborhood frozen in an eerie, artificial tranquility. Row upon row of identical houses stretch into infinity, each façade a mirror of the last. But once inside, the illusion fractures—hallways loop into themselves, and the once-cozy interiors become an unsettling puzzle. Time flows in cycles of day and night, the warm hum of vintage jazz filling the air during daylight. Yet, instead of comfort, the melodies deepen the isolation. As dusk falls and the shadows stretch long, a single question takes root: are you truly alone in this place? 
Playrooms: A sequence of spaces inspired by children’s play areas, recreated with an artificial and silent aesthetic. Throughout the map, you’ll explore padded rooms, plastic castle structures, ball-filled corridors, netted tunnels, oversized blocks, and printed city carpets. Each area follows the logic of childhood entertainment but is stripped of functionality or human presence. There are no instructions, no sounds, and no clear direction; progression is entirely up to the player.
Liminal Hotel presents the definitive version of the famed “Level 188” Backrooms meme, offering a wide variety of styles within its rooms. Using elevators, you’ll traverse the hotel floor by floor, and as you descend, you’ll notice the hotel’s atmosphere becoming increasingly unstuck in time.
Dead Mall lets players loose on a nightmarish plaza with all the staples of childhood shopping, but contorted into an uncanny ordeal. Delve into its subliminal arcade, parking lot, food court, and bevy of isolated shops.
Every level in Dreamcore is a standalone experience that offers a unique blend of exploration and atmosphere. Two additional maps have already been added, and a final map is currently in development, further expanding the game’s world. Early players will receive all future maps at no extra cost.

Taking a break (and what’s next)
Hey! Just wanted to give a quick heads-up on why I’ve been inactive lately. This past month I’ve been taking a break, and to be honest, I’ll probably extend it through July. After working almost 12 hours a day for the last two years, I just hit a wall and needed to unplug for a bit.Once I’m back, I’ll start sharing some teasers and previews of what I've been working on for the update.I’m also planning to run some polls and threads around here because I want to see what things the community feels could be improved or polished. It's mostly to get a general sense of what you guys think, keep you in the loop, and gather some fresh ideas while I progress.Thanks for understanding, and see you guys in a bit 😁Read full article on Community Announcements (ValenAbrazo)AnnouncementsOfficial
Message from the developer
Just wanted to drop a quick message to talk about the release of Dead Mall and how the game is doing overall. I’ve been reading ALL your feedback, and I know that for some of you, some parts didn't fully meet expectations or felt like they fell a bit short. I truly appreciate your honesty, and I take it to heart—just as much as I appreciate everyone who has been thoroughly enjoying it.Developing the final stages of the game was a major challenge. Balancing deadlines, complex map designs, and technical hurdles meant we had to streamline certain areas and leave some ideas on the cutting room floor to ensure the launch. It’s a game I love and proudly stands complete, but I also know we can take it even further.I don’t want to just leave it as it is. Now that the pressure of deadlines is finally off our shoulders, we are going to put a ton of polish into the game. We aren't just looking to hit 100%—now that we have the time and focus the project deserves, we want to push it to 150%. Over the next few months, I’m going to be working on bringing back the specific content we had to cut before the launch, shaping those missing pieces based on both your feedback and my own original vision.There's still a journey ahead, but Dreamcore is far from overThank you so much for your patience and for sticking with me through this!Valentín IribarrenDreamcore Game DirectorRead full article on Community Announcements (ValenAbrazo)AnnouncementsOfficial
