Hi there!

Good morning, folks!

Some of you might already know this, but for the last year or so, I've been working on a really big project. And I mean really big - I'm not even finished the prototype yet!!

But I shared it with Cohost yesterday, so I think it's only fair I share it with you too.

What's Dreamshine?

Your guess is as good as mine! All we know is you woke up here, in this cute little house in the middle of a basin.

You can poke around the house and take in the sights, but there doesn't seem to be a way out - at least, not without scaling the surrounding cliffs.

Unfortunately, that won't go well. Attempting to climb it just leaves you exhausted. You have no willpower to go on, and you pass out immediately.

When you wake up, you find yourself back in bed. It seems that any time you fall asleep, you end up right back in the house.

After a couple days of trying and failing to leave, something new happens: Someone else has fallen in, and they can't get out either!!

Luckily, you're around! It's a tough climb for just one person, but with your help, the stranger is able to haul themself out. They thank you, and head back to wherever they came from.

Another day done, you head back to bed.

The next day, something feels a little different... it's as if the stranger's Good Will towards you has given you more Willpower.

Maybe if you try scaling the cliffs again...

Huh, would you look at that!

Now that you can leave the basin without passing out, the whole world is yours to explore!

This is the basic gameplay loop of Dreamshine: Explore where you can, help out the folks you find there, earn more Willpower, and explore even further!

There's a ton of fun places to visit and strange people to meet. Who knows how many new friends you'll help out?

Thanks for reading. Can't wait to share more with you!
