"Surely, if I keep taking these, one day I'll stop having nightmares."  

A short queer story about searching for sweet winter dreams. A sequel to Overcomp, and submission to the 2023 Winter Visual Novel Jam.

I chose to interpret the jam's theme as 'Loneliness', 'Emptiness', and 'Desolation'. It's not a traditional wintertime tale, but rather one that conveys the feelings the season reminds me of.

Featuring cute pixel art, existencial dread, and a talking cactus.

Also featuring some silly minigames and guest art from friends!

HINTS:

• For the first dreams, you are limited to one pill at a time. More will open up as you progress.
• Some dreams must be played multiple times. If they don't show up in your Dream Diary, then it means there are more choices left to make.
• There is one ending, achievable from viewing every dream and taking all 10 pills. To do so, you need to have all 9 previous dreams in your diary, so try out the various choices!
• There is post-game content and some very well-hidden secrets to uncover. I challenge you to make sense of them ;)
