In a dream, searching for the secrets our sleep holds. Follow the music, and it'll guide you to ever deeper stages of your onion of dreams. Explore each layer, but careful, linger too long and you will wake up.

WASD - Move around
Mouse - Look around
Space - Jump

EDIT: I probably should have pointed out more explicitly, without sound it's *really* hard to find the level exit. Headphones are recommended.

Little preview of the gameplay:

There's no win condition. It will get progressively harder to find the exit to
the next level, see how far you can make it.

Unity crashed trying to build for WebGL, so only Windows and Linux versions are available.

I streamed the entire thing, the VOD will be up for 2 weeks.

Made it to depth 8. The reduce vision settles in pretty quickly so it feels little luck based. The graphics are however pretty nice and the jumping animation is the best.

I thought it was a good idea and think it could be good to expand on it, I enjoyed watching what I was able to catch of it's development.

I didn't notice the darkness creeping in until it got pretty close to the character and then it freaked me out, that was good.

Hi,
very innovative idea. The game also plays neat and dreamlike (you know those dreams where you run but you feel slow no matter what).
Good job!

Made it to depth 13 after jumping straightly from 10 to 12. Music is awesome but jump/collision sound sounds a bit off.
