Only A Dream
Set in 1990, *Only A Dream* follows John Simmons, a young man grappling with his father’s sudden disappearance after a painful divorce. Determined to rebuild his life, John stumbles upon cryptic notes left by Frank Simmons in hidden tunnels, leading him into a surreal, claustrophobic journey. The game blends exploration with psychological tension, as players navigate dark, labyrinthine caves filled with eerie clues. Every step demands caution—managing a heartbeat sensor that reacts to stress, conserving stamina during sprints, and using crouching to stay calm. Letters scattered throughout reveal fragments of Frank’s harrowing experience, guiding players toward the truth behind the mysterious phenomenon. The story unfolds on January 13th, a date steeped in superstition, challenging John—and the player—to confront fear and uncover secrets buried deep within the tunnels. With a gripping atmosphere and emotional depth, *Only A Dream* delivers a unique survival experience. This title is a must-play for fans of narrative-driven games.
