环梦症 - Cycloid oneirism

Game premise and objectives

环梦症 - Cycloid oneirism is a PC game centered around the exploration of memories and the blurred line between reality and dreams. Players assume the role of a character whose memories serve as the narrative vehicle for the game. As you progress, you are confronted with relationships that may not align with what you perceive, adding layers of complexity to the story. The game presents itself as a minimalist narrative without typical emotional arcs such as romance or tragedy, instead offering a more abstract representation of self-reflection.

Narrative structure

The game's story challenges players to question what is real and what is not. It examines themes of self-awareness and the influences of others on personal perception. The boundary between the protagonist's dreams and their reality weakens as they navigate through memories and encounters, ultimately leading to an ambiguous conclusion. Players must consider whether their ending will come from compromise, avoidance, or an emotional outburst, with each decision leading to a different outcome.
