Geek Native shared an early what do we know about Dream City Knights, now the campaign has had more than €7K pledged of the €12k target and has two weeks on Kickstarter.
Dream City Knights invites players to navigate the complex world of adolescence while exploring a fantastical dreamscape. The game centres on characters discovering their ability to enter the mysterious Dream City while they sleep.
However, Dream City is not without its perils. A menacing entity known as the Tower looms over the dream world, casting a shadow of mystery and intrigue. As players traverse this ever-changing landscape, they must confront the Tower’s enigmatic influence and strive to maintain equilibrium between their waking lives and their newfound responsibilities in the dream world.
Dream City Knights offers a unique blend of adolescent struggles and fantastical adventures. Players will face challenges that test their courage and resolve, ultimately determining whether they will succumb to the Tower’s power or rise as defiant knights, challenging the essence of the dreamscape.
