About The Weird Dream

The Weird Dream is a 2D Metroidvania game set in the ruins of Alpha City. Control a mysterious bunny while confronting Alpha City's mutated inhabitants. Level up your skills, and unravel the truth behind the City's untimely destruction. The city holds many legends about the origin of a being only known as the Astral Lord, yet they all share a common detail: the Astral Lord answers sincere prayers and fulfills every desire.

Background

One day, you wake up and realize you're no longer your old self. Long ears, fluffy fur, and a bunny tail... Not only that, the once-familiar Alpha City is now almost unrecognizable and overrun by monsters. To discover the cause of your mutation and the city's ruination, you must embark on an epic adventure.
