Dream Pills

A downloadable game for Windows

Developer: HiddenWare

Warning: This game contains screamers, loud noises, and flashing images. It is not recommended for players with heart conditions, epilepsy, or other similar health issues. Proceed with caution.

About This Game

Dream Pills is a low-poly psychological horror experience that plunges players into a short but intense journey of about 10-15 minutes. Developed by HiddenWare and built on the Unity Engine, Dream Pills draws inspiration from classic horror titles like Cry of Fear and Silent Hill . It combines the nostalgic feel of PS1-era graphics with the modern indie spirit of crafting unique and immersive experiences.

You are a patient dependent on a mysterious medication called Dreamoxotin. One night, you wake up in a strange and nightmarish place, where the line between reality and illusion blurs. As you navigate through this twisted world, an unknown entity pursues you, and your only goal is to escape.

This demo introduces the prologue of a larger story—a tale of a life devastated by depression, where the protagonist struggles to comprehend the world around them. The full game will delve deeper into the protagonist's tragic life, exploring how the effects of Dreamoxotin and their depression intertwine to create a harrowing reality.

• Authentic PS1-Style Graphics: Immerse yourself in a world that pays homage to the golden age of horror gaming, with carefully crafted low-poly models.
• Psychological Horror: Experience a gripping narrative that delves into the dark corners of the human mind, influenced by mental illness and pharmaceutical manipulation.
• Atmospheric Gameplay: Every moment is designed to keep you on edge, with an atmosphere bolstered by custom-made music and sound design.
• Handcrafted Experience: From the code to the music, and even the 3D models—everything is made from scratch by HiddenWare to ensure a unique and immersive experience.

Sharing my experience here! I played the demo version and liked the ambience and jumpscares. I was really curious about the story and the 'why' behind everything happening. I was expecting to find more answers in the extended version, and indeed, some questions were answered, but the most important, for me the 'why', wasn't. 

I loved the fact there was lore to explore on the protagonist's computer that gave away some clues, but at the end I just couldn't fit all the pieces together. Maybe I missed something? Because the game froze while I was working on the in-game-computer and I didn't go through everything in the second playthrough. 

Therefore the ending left me with a bitter aftertaste because my questions weren't answered. Why the sudden sleep paralysis? Why are the ghosts messing with me? What have  I, the protagonist done, to make that happen? Or is it all just a consequence of work related stress? I don't know! 

Overall I really enjoyed the game and made another Let's Play video 😊

for those who bought the demo version, is there a possibility of receiving the full version of the game?

The demo is 1 usd but the full game is 2 usd so there is a $1 gap between them

Man that first jumpscare had me laughing so hard haha. How come the main character never listens to their consciousness(The Player). I had a fun playing this, and I am glad that it was first experience playing this version. It was so creepy not knowing what was to come.

Thank you so much for playing!

I had a lot of fun :).

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much for playing!!!!

Very good game once again ! GG

thanks so much!!!

Euthanasia(2010)

A downloadable game

Euthanasia (2010)

---------------------------------------------

Euthanasia was the first game I have ever released to the public. This was in 2010 back when I was still pretty green about making games. Its therefore somewhat unstable and hard to get running. If you chose to try it out, I can't guarantee that it will work or work without bugs. There is nothing I can do at this point to fix any of them so what you grab here is the final version of this project. 

Euthanasia is a free horror themed first person shooter with puzzle and survival elements. The story line, albeit a bit crude, explores the concept of limbo and facing ones sins before being able to enter the after life. A paralyzed and depressed korean war veteran begs his psychopathic therapist for assisted suicide by lethal injection. Unable to face his plight as a lonely cripple in a wayward psychiatric hospital he chose to end it. He could not fathom that once he drifted into the abyss he would still have to face his demons, except this time quite literally.

The game plays like a straightforward haunted house type shooter, except that it relies a bit more on minor puzzles and has a strong focus on atmosphere. Help Shaun Randall navigate this nightmare and defeat his fears so he may be granted entrance to the afterlife.

… in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Disclaimer : I have released this title when I was 18 and it was originally intended for a smaller audience. However, it gained some popularity and I feel that I need to point out that it has a few bugs and that, as a native german speaker, the english voice acting (recorded with an old digi cam) and the texts are subpar. (Including they / they’re type grammatical errors). Please be aware of this before testing it.

Nice game.  I didn't really have any problems other than trying to go full screen.  Going full screen at my system's native resolution (4500x3000) cut off the buttons and icons on the left- and right-hand sides.  I used the browser's Responsive Design Mode to adjust to a resolution that would work and still maximize the playable area.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Appreciate you letting me know about the full-screen issue with your resolution. I’ll look into this and work on a fix to improve the experience for high-resolution displays. If you run into anything else or have more suggestions, feel free to share. Thanks for playing! :)

Nicely made! I think the animations for transitioning between levels could be faster, or not block inputs while they happen

hmm.. got it. Thanks for the feedback :)  will make sure to look into how that can be fixed.
