By day, run a magical cafe.
Brew drinks infused with emotion.
By night, step into dreams.
Use plant magic to uncover hidden clues and piece together the feelings behind each story.
Witches, dreams, and the quiet work of understanding.

As a young witch, Ivy runs a magical cafe, preparing personalised drinks and earning enough to keep it open. Customers come and go, sharing small worries, strange stories, and things they would rather leave unsaid.
Ivy never dreams.
Until one night, she does.
The dream feels wrong, almost as if someone prepared it for her. Familiar things from the waking world return in unsettling new forms, and stranger still, some of the things she sees there seem to exist in the real world too.
As nightmares spread across Dream Town, Ivy starts to uncover a connection between the people around her, the strange dreams she is experiencing, and someone she has completely forgotten.
Learn magic, piece together clues, uncover the rules of dreams, and move between dreams, illusions and reality in search of the truth.
Who is behind Ivy’s dreams, and why was she meant to find them?
Can you uncover the secret behind the dream?

Run a magical cafe: grow magical plants, take customer orders, brew personalised drinks with emotion-infused ingredients, and reinvest your earnings to keep the cafe going.

Piece together the truth: notice strange details, reveal hidden traces with magic, collect clues, and connect what you discover to work out what really happened.

Explore surreal dreams: enter nightmares shaped by fear, memory and emotion. Use magic to reveal hidden paths, navigate impossible spaces, and track mysterious dream beasts.

Connect dreams and reality: things you hear, notice and discover during the day may take on a different meaning once night falls.

Make emotional choices: decide when to question, protect, forgive, confront or let go as Ivy becomes involved in the lives of the people around her.

A cosy world with something unsettling underneath: explore hand-painted environments, shifting dreamscapes, emotional lighting, and an original soundtrack that moves between warmth and unease.

A women-centred story: explore identity, self-perception, body image, social pressure, and the struggles people often find difficult to say out loud.
