Lost Dreams
A downloadable game for Windows
Once Upon a time, there was an unhappy child. All they wanted in life, was to be happy, and in their dreams, they were. However, all dreams must come to an end someday.
Lost Dreams is a game created for My First Game Jam.
The game is very short, only half an hour to an hour long, but it was my first venture into creating almost all of the assets used in the game.
You play a child, who is on a quest to wake up from their blissful dream while the inhabitants of their dream world try to, half heartedly, stand in their way. The majority of the game are simple puzzles, with atmospheric music and surreal inhabitants to the world.
The game features include:
- Multiple endings (4 bad endings, one normal, and one true ending)
- A rhythm-based battle system
- New Game+
- Various puzzles and riddles
Warnings for the game include:
- Mention of suicide
- Mentions of abuse and neglect
- Body horror
- Scopophobia
- Trypophobia
- Loud noises
While I personally am not completely happy with the outcome of the game, I am proud of the fact that it is a project that I have actually finished, and am looking forward to the next game jam I join.

I'm stuck on chapter 3. I've defeated the first person and I have four pocket mirrors in my inventory. I see there's something shiny on top of a bookcase but I can't reach it. I've interacted with everything I can and nothing happens so I don't know what to do next.
Oh god, it's been a long time since I've played it. I believe there's a stool you can push around to get the item.
I need some help. Whenever I select 'New Game' I get an error "Unable to find file: Graphics/Tilesets/Inside_C
that's strange! i've never gotten a comment or error like that (that i remember)...
the only thing i can think of is that maybe you don't have the RTP installed.

try installing the vx ace rtp and try running the game again and let me know if that worked!
It's all good. And yes it worked! I'd never gotten an error like that before so I was quite confused lol
I got around to playing it and made a video on it ^^
you dont even mention HOW to install the font
All you have to do is double click on the font file that should be included, and hit the install button on the window that pops up.
I hope that helps!
I'm stuck!
i can try to help! what are you stuck on? (i haven't replayed this game in a LONG TIME though so ;;; )
hello i am sorry, i figured out the problem, i was just being dumb!
ohno problem! I'm glad you got it figured out!! ( ╹▽╹ )
Interesting game. The spritework is great and separates it from typical fair. I'm glad the music sections are not very challenging cause otherwise I would not be able to complete it. It has some nice charm and doesn't overstay its welcome.
Good stuff!
This game is dark. The atmosphere was really interesting, like a melancholy fairy tale? Not sure how to describe it, but I enjoyed it but was simultaneously saddened.
Also how do you get the normal ending I only got the true end. Not sure if I actually want to get the normal end, but I'm curiousAAAAAAAH THE F E E L S
How do I get past the letter puzzle towards the end?
