In All My Dreams I Choke On Invisible Smoke [BETA]
[12/2/2024: I've decided I don't like this game the way it is and I no longer want people to play it in this state. I will update it eventually and get it to a point where I am satisfied with it. Until then, be warned that it's unfinished.]
That spring my head overflowed with visions, and I dreamed of another world.
Surreal visual novel/point and click game. Estimated ~45 minutes long. Two endings. No jumpscares.
Vaguely Yume Nikki inspired, but with more text.
Made primarily for the FeverDream Game Jam; theme was "abandoned garden".

"The more lucid and overwhelming one's belief in Heaven, the greater the temptation to get it over with, this business of life."
As a Christian who fully believes in God, this line stood out to me the most. It is painfully true. Suicide is not the answer however, if that's what was being implied; we all have a purpose here. We are all loved. You are loved.
Really neat little experience, this game. Very surreal.

no lo puedo descargar :"c
i played this with a friend and it struck us both it feels like a headache that is always there but almost seems like a friend we loved the music it's such a physical experience thank you
i liked the off refrence
yayy :)
This game was incredible! The visuals and story touch the heart. Everything came together so well, the audio, the art, the writing (which was very impressive), to make a memorable experience.
I did a playthrough in may 2024 (game may be updated since)
Very intriguing game. I like the visuals going on in this game. The NPCs are definitely one of the Yume Nikki inspirations you said. I like the side art of the character/s going in real world, especially when they are in a situation. There's some symbolisms I guess going on, and I think, despite the shortness of the game, I still think the game is kind of very deep enough and could still take time for me to understand further. I will still check the other ending ofc. Overall, very mysterious and, again, intriguing game. I liked it and enjoyed my time, and had number of emotions.
Heyo, sorry for late reply! No problem! I almost forgot to report about that. I replayed the game, and it's as smooth as butter.
