Dream Logic
Dream Logic is an experimental game design project that explores the intersection of dreams, subconscious creativity, and digital interactivity. While traditional game development often relies on structured logic, mechanics, and linear progression, this project aims to break away from those conventions to generate an open-world game experience that draws directly from the subconscious, offering a space for players to connect with their inner selves and navigate a surreal, dream inspired environment.
The project begins asking how the digital world reflect the fluid, intangible nature of dreams. Dreams are said to occupy nearly half of our lives, yet their creative potential is rarely integrated into our experiences. With this in mind, the aim was to create a space where the dreams become a personal canvas where players can design characters born from their own subconscious and explore landscapes shaped by abstract patterns, non-linear storytelling, and symbolic imagery.
The development process was deeply collaborative, involving brainstorming sessions that pushed the boundaries of conventional game mechanics. Together, we reimagined gameplay as a medium for self-expression rather than just goal-driven interaction. In Dream Logic, environments and creatures are not pre-defined but instead reflect the unpredictable, deeply personal logic of the subconscious. The result is a game that invites players into a reflective, immersive space where imagination becomes experience.
