Game Description
Dreamspring is a first-person action game set in the crumbling Kingdom of Mortis. The player takes on the role of a swordsman as he travels through his various kingdoms. The universe is in ruins, a desolate area where the few survivors struggle with nightmares and despair. A lone figure is sent to the core of this dying land to uncover its secrets, requiring exploration and battle with the creatures now inhabiting the barren realm.
This world is presented through a mixture of retro and vaporwave aesthetics. The world of Dreamspring functions as an open-space dungeon crawler, borrowing structural elements from its genre predecessors. The combat system is direct first-person interaction, using both firearms and spell-based attacks. The narrative of the project is connected with a distant, doomed future and a legend haunting these lands. This game offers a different take on the souls-like formula, with balance designed to be less punishing for the player as they explore a declining kingdom.
The Empire was deserted, leaving Mortis as a cluster of ruins under an eternal twilight. Above this desolation hovers the Holy City, the last bastion of civilization, ruled by a religious army. Tormented by recurring dreams of an intruder, one single figure is forced to venture into the rotting core of the world. The goal is to uncover the secrets of the realm and restore some semblance of balance, representing a desperate attempt to save the awakening world from imminent collapse.
