Description
About This Game
Brave the Kingdom Warped by Dreams
Explore a vast, interconnected world of a corrupted collective dream. Discover holy cathedrals, lush forests and abandoned towns of a dying kingdom as you seek a way to quell the influence of the Collective Dream.
Expand Your Arsenal
Assemble an arsenal of weapons wielded by noble spirits ensnared within the dream. Weave intricate combinations of attacks to fight nightmarish foes and utilize each weapon in a special way to traverse the environment. Relics can empower each weapon in unique and powerful ways.
Harness the Power of Fallen Dreamers
You are far from the first Dreamer to step into this world. Collect the holy artifacts of fallen martyrs, corrupted beyond recognition by The Word and unleash your full potential in both combat and exploration.
Gorgeous Pixel-Art Aesthetic
From picturesque to grotesque, each location has its own ambience and feel, decorated with detailed hand-crafted backdrops. Each boss has a distinctive personality, emphasized not only by the story, but also by dozens of unique animations and environmental interactions.
Fully Voiced-Over Characters & Atmospheric OST
Being & Becoming features a diverse cast of charming and terrifying voice acted characters and bosses. The soundtrack is filled with dynamic and atmospheric tracks that are both shaped by and directly shape gameplay.
The Word is Inevitable
As you know, I have already written: flesh and blood cannot inherit my kingdom.
You shall not all sleep, but you shall all be changed when my last trumpet sounds.
Yet here you are, asleep and ensnared within The Collective Dream.
Let me wake you and change this perishable body into something imperishable to destroy the wicked false prophet who has trapped you here.
