In a world where nightmares are currency, players take on the role of a Nightmancer who can navigate the subconscious of various characters. Players explore the bizarre and absurd dreams of a diverse cast, including a failed comedian, a conspiracy theorist, and an overzealous cat person. The objective is to capture pieces of their nightmares to barter for stories that can help each character confront their fears and grow. With choices affecting both the character's psyche and the surreal dreamscapes, players must balance humor and horror to ensure they leave with a decent nightmare portfolio to advance in the Nightmancer League.
