Hey everyone!
Today is a very special day for me.
[h3]Dreamout is out now![/h3]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Yes, this isn’t my first game, but it’s a very special one for me. I’ve poured my heart into this project. Dreamout was created from a simple idea - “about a drunken alpaca wandering the world.”

If you enjoy absurd humor and adventures where nothing goes according to plan - give Dreamout a try.
To celebrate the release, there’s a 15% discount during the first week!

[h3]Demo Version[/h3]
The demo is temporarily available, but keep in mind — it’s no longer representative of the full version the game has become today.
There’s also a prologue, Skelethrone: The Prey, which you can play to get a taste of the story.

The game and DLC are currently discounted, but during the festival the discount won’t last long due to Steam’s time-limited sale rules.
