About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever thought about running a dream factory? In Neodreams, the future is even weirlier than you imagined. Thanks to Oneiroshunt technology, the line between sleep and machine has blurred, creating a booming industry of manufactured dreams. As a CEO, your mission is to build a dream empire, crafting experiences that range from overcoming deep-seated fears to exploring impossible landscapes.

Gameplay-wise, you'll be juggling several layers of strategy. You'll deploy your specialized Oneironauts to gather essential resources, manage your deck and pools to optimize actions, and use worker placement to secure your spot in the market. It's a race to see who can build the most efficient-dream-making engine and accumulate the most wealth before the market saturates.

The game strikes a sweet spot for mid-weight gamers: it offers deep strategic choices regarding resource management and engine building without feeling like a heavy slog. You'll need to balance short-term-gains from quick-sell dreams against long-term investments in technology and infrastructure. If you love themes that blend sci-fi-concept with tight economic strategy, Neodreams is a must-play. Get ready to dream big—literally!
