IGF Spotlight: The Dream Machine

The Dream Machine is an Excellence in Visual Art nominee at this year's Independent Games Festival. The game is a point-and-click adventure where you play as a couple, Victor and Alicia, who have recently moved into their new apartment only to discover an unsettling secret about their new home. The developers wanted to stay far away from a polygonal look, so they decided to go with a Claymation aesthetic, which gives the game a great look.

Everything in the world is mostly clickable, with each click serving a purpose. The first episode in the game starts you off in Victor's dream; soon after, you wake up and help your girlfriend Alicia with household duties. From there, you get to explore the new apartment and begin to discover a disturbing secret that leads you to the next episode. The first episode is available to play for free, and the second episode is available to purchase now with other episodes being released each month.
