Story:
The story revolves around a 19-year-old boy named Mike Sanders, who suffers from oneirophobia and post-traumatic stress disorder, acquired due to the loss of his parents at the age of 14.
Mike lives on the territory of a large ranch that he inherited from his parents. Mike's ranch is located in the middle of the "Routwood" forest.
Mike does not live alone, but with his watchdog named "Marty".
Mike has nightmares all the time, and sometimes he can't even tell the difference between a dream and reality.
During the passage you will visit a large number of mythical dreams, for example, in an abandoned city, a gloomy forest or deserted buildings.
Experience the role of a person suffering from a fear of dreams, having gone through all the terrible trials that our subconscious presents to us.
The plot will gradually reveal to you the main character and all the difficulties of his lonely life.
Gameplay:
The gameplay is divided into two stages, which alternate between each other, namely dream and reality.
The line between a dream and reality is quite blurred, so the player himself must look for the right answer, while experiencing all the same feelings as the game character.
When you get into nightmares, run, hide, solve puzzles and be quiet.
When you get into reality, get into it, study and do household chores.

Hi! I'm an independent solo game developer from Russia. And right now I'm working on my second project - Oneirophobia.Add this game to your wishlist so you don't miss its release!The first gameplay teaser has already been shown on my YouTube channel and Steam page.In addition, I've published a 22-minute Devlog with English subtitles, where I talk in detail about the game, my inspiration, my creative background, and what it's like to develop a big game on my own without any professional training.Oneirophobia is my second project that I'm working on completely alone and without using neural networks.
