At first, I didn't know what to do; I was walking around and found a campfire, walked a little further and found a fairy and a fascinating fire (laughs), then I put the pieces together and understood what I should do. There are some audio and collision bugs, but nothing that prevents you from playing. I managed to finish it.

It's a pity there's no web version..I can't rate it. No screenshots or videos... Sorry

There are some audio issues and a few bugs (the Settings button inside the Settings screen overlaps the menu), and the gameplay isn’t always easy to read — but it’s still playable.

Thanks for the try!

Visually, the game isn't bad, but the gameplay is pretty basic and boring. And at first, it's not clear what you're supposed to do.

Hey guys! The game is multiplayer — sorry for not explaining that clearly.

As a Dreamer, you need to reach Lumira (the blue fairy). She will give you the Lumiric Flame, which you must use to light a Bonfire so you can leave.

As the Shade, you need to sabotage the Dreamers and extract their Lumiric Flame until you fill up your bar.

It's a multiplayer game: the first player needs to choose the Shade, then up to 4 other players can join as Dreamers.

I don't know if it's because im on linux or the game is buggy but I couldn't manage to play a single round properly. Making a multiplayer game for a jam is no joke so it's kinda cool

@termegus Thanks for playing our game! And yeah, there were so many things to do in just 2 days. Too many bugs, but at least we managed to publish it on time. When you said you "couldn't manage to play a single round properly," do you mean the game crashed or you just didn't understand how to finish a match?

I could only launch the game as the Shadow; I couldn't play as the Dreamers. I still don't understand why. Maybe it's because it's a multiplayer game? How do I launch it with someone else?

I didn't get a chance to play it in multiplayer, but I did run around and explore the map solo. As far as I can tell, it's something like Dead by Daylight I get the idea.

Thanks for your game!

ricna 2026-04-22 11:43 ♥ 1

@alexey-bobrovskiy Yeah, its beause is multiplayer... Someone else need to host the match as Shade. I'll try to let a Shade always online, sou you can try it. Thanks anyway :)

@yarcha Thanks! And yeah, the Dead by Daylight is a great inspiration for assymetrical games <3

ricna 2026-04-22 11:56 ♥ 1

I'll try to add a way to test as Dreamer, even as some kind of single player. I guess nobody is testing the game because of this multiplayer limitation. :/

I can try to test with you. Ping me on the server I just created: https://discord.gg/WazuQwwC

The progress bar of the kitten is so cute!The sound effect has been processed dynamically and is very detailed.Besides,the main character is a little fluffy ball and is very adorable.

I tried ti play but didn't understand what should happen. I simply run through the location and don't understand what to do with flames.

I had to wait until I could get my brother around so he and I could play together. The very fact you did multiplayer in a gamejam is noteworthy. Definitely like others I see the dead by daylight reference, and I think this game can be a blast if you gather 5 people.

@zhangzhimu Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the dynamic sound and the 'fluffy' Borg :)

ricna 2026-04-27 11:23 ♥ 1

@ryrumeli Sorry for the confusion! Since it's an asymmetrical multiplayer, the mechanics are tied to the roles: As a Dreamer, you need to find Lumira (the source), grab the flame, and carry it to the Bonfire to charge your signal. It’s a 1v4 hunt! If you're solo, try opening the game twice on your PC to see how the Shade and Dreamers interact. I'll work on a better tutorial/guide for the final version! Thanks for trying it out!

@ryrumeli You’re a legend for bringing your brother in to test it! Networking is a massive challenge, so I really appreciate you noticing that. You nailed it—Dead by Daylight was a huge inspiration! We’re planning to expand this into a full Steam release soon with better matchmaking. If you want to join our journey, we just started a Discord: https://discord.gg/WazuQwwC. Thanks for the support!
