Dream

Game background:

"Dream," as one of the participating works in the GGJ competition in 2021, has been uploaded to the platform above. Those who are interested in this game can download and play it on the website. Made by the Unreal Engine 4, this work is a light decryption adventure game combined with a horizontal version of the clearance and a third-person perspective. The player takes on the role of the main character, a small hamster, who escapes from a dark factory. The theme of the game is Lost and Found. We created a hamster who has lost himself; only work is left in his life, and the world has turned black and white. In order to find the original mind and self, the hamster is determined to escape from the assembly line factory, return to his home, and find the life story in the dream.

Creative background:

The inspiration for this theme is based on our real lives. These hamster producers are just like us, who work for 996 (9 to 9 for 6 days) and forget the beauty of the world. Maybe we also want to escape from our lives like the hero hamster, though we can't do it. The graphics of this game may seem simple, but its meaning is very complex. In today's society, people often lose the color of life because of their busy work. The game hopes that people will realize how precious life is and try to enjoy it more. While the game's graphics are deceptively simple, the meaning is not universal. In this case, the spiritual qualities the game is trying to convey to the player are particularly important.
