SOME WAIT DREAMING

by Twin Wisp Arts

Facts

Genre: Puzzle Horror
Platform: PC
Dev time: 12 months
Looking for: Investor
Funding needs: 300 000 - 400 000 €

Synopsis

Some Wait Dreaming is a atmospheric investigative puzzle game.The player wakes up on a seemingly abandoned submarine stuck at the bottom of the ocean, and is then tasked to find their way safely out, discovering what happened along the way. We hope to give an experience that makes the player feel clever, not underestimating their intelligence, and at the same time delivering unnerving atmospheric horror.

Uniqueness

  • Setting, set on a nuclear submarine during the cold war
  • A mix between interesting puzzle mechanics and deductive reasoning
  • Horror, Atmospheric and not overbearing, suspenseful rather than explicit.
