Dream of Things

About

Dream of Things drops you into a decaying mansion where you wander as a ghost who can chat with household objects. Using a broken phone, you interrogate everything from a creaky bed to a rusted faucet, each revealing a puzzle-driven dream world. Your goal is to piece together fragments of a forgotten life while navigating five distinct rooms linked by cryptic mechanics. Puzzles range from simple object interactions to multi-room chain reactions, requiring you to revisit spaces with new context. The first-person perspective keeps you close to the environment, blending eerie exploration with logic-based challenges. The game leans into its surreal tone, letting mundane items like a chandelier or a mirror double as portals to twisted subworlds. Players on early access forums praised its "haunting quiet" and "puzzles that feel like easter eggs," though some noted the slow pacing might test patience. indienova’s latest offers a lean, atmospheric take on narrative puzzles, arriving June 2025 for PC. Its strength lies in small moments, like a teacup recalling a birthday it never saw, where the real story hides.
