You woke up in a place you had never seen before. A strange, mysterious recording of a voice explained that your mind is somehow connected to the dreams of a man called Luke William — a broken man, step by step getting closer to vanishing away. Having been diagnosed with severe depression, Luke Williams is walking on the edge of the abyss. But now that you’re connected, you just can’t let him go — his life is in your hands…

Into A Dream has won accolades such as the Best Art Direction Award at the IndieDevWorldOrder Awards 2019, and has been featured by the UK Royal College of Psychiatrist for its portrayal of depression. After releasing on Steam in August 2020, the game reaches consoles now thanks to Top Hat Interactive.

Into A Dream reaches consoles now after its Steam release last summer.
