Project Description

Dream Cycle

Dream Cycle is an ever-expanding adventure through a cursed, shattered dimension. Players take the role of Morgan Carter, a modern-day arcane apprentice who’s essence has been stolen by her great-great-grand-uncle, the legendary Randolph Carter. After discovering that her path to the waking world has been obscured by dark magic, Morgan must venture into the Dreamlands to purge the realm’s corruption, recover her own powers, and thwart Randolph’s sinister plans to become a god.

A HARROWING NARRATIVE ADVENTURE

Designed by veteran game developer Toby Gard, Dream Cycle is heavily inspired by Lovecraftian cosmic horror. You play as Morgan Carter, a modern-day sorceress trapped in a mysterious alternate reality. With her life fading in the waking world, Morgan must free her friend and as many others as she can from the Dreamlands before the Crawling Chaos dooms them all.

A DYNAMIC, ADAPTIVE STYLE OF GAMEPLAY

With plenty of weapons, abilities, and powers at your disposal, Dream Cycle lets you truly define the way you play. Pick your favorite weapon, master the arcane, exploit your enemies’ weaknesses and find the best approach to each encounter – whether it’s full-force front assaults or silent but deadly incursions. Vanquish your foes, expand your knowledge, and invest in new skills and abilities that will help you shape the game into a unique experience.

AN IMMERSIVE WORLD TO EXPLORE

Follow the footsteps of Randolph Carter and Basil Elton across the vast and mysterious Dreamlands. Climb the forbidden peak of Hatheg-Kla in the stony desert, carve your way through the Perfumed Jungles of Kled, and discover forgotten palaces with veined ivory columns that sleep lovely and unbroken under the moon. Fight hideous Ghouls and vast lumbering Gugs, meet exotic tribes, and visit a wide variety of biomes steeped in the lore of the Dreamlands.

A SHIFTING, ENDLESS EXPERIENCE

An unstable realm made up of fragments of the real world, the dreamlands will change every time you visit: roll the dice and watch as the world in front of you reshapes itself. Go back to places you had already explored and face new challenges and new stories for even greater rewards. Dream Cycle is professionally voice-acted and features a completely original soundtrack by the original Tomb Raider composer Nathan McRee that further adds to the game’s uniqueness.

About the Developer

Beyond the Basalt Pillars of the West, simple folk say splendid Cathuria lies, but wise dreamers well know they are the gates of a monstrous cataract wherein the oceans of earth’s dreamland drop wholly to abysmal nothingness and shoot through the empty spaces toward other worlds and other stars.
