About This Game
Dream Pills is a low-poly psychological horror experience that plunges players into a short but intense journey of about 10-15 minutes. Developed by HiddenWare and built on the Unity Engine, Dream Pills draws inspiration from classic horror titles like Cry of Fear and Silent Hill. It combines the nostalgic feel of PS1-era graphics with the modern indie spirit of crafting unique and immersive experiences.
The Story
You are a patient dependent on a mysterious medication called Dreamoxotin. One night, you wake up in a strange and nightmarish place, where the line between reality and illusion blurs. As you navigate through this twisted world, an unknown entity pursues you, and your only goal is to escape.
This demo introduces the prologue of a larger story—a tale of a life devastated by depression, where the protagonist struggles to comprehend the world around them. The full game will delve deeper into the protagonist's tragic life, exploring how the effects of Dreamoxotin and their depression intertwine to create a harrowing reality.
Features
- Authentic PS1-Style Graphics: Immerse yourself in a world that pays homage to the golden age of horror gaming, with carefully crafted low-poly models.
- Psychological Horror: Experience a gripping narrative that delves into the dark corners of the human mind, influenced by mental illness and pharmaceutical manipulation.
- Atmospheric Gameplay: Every moment is designed to keep you on edge, with an atmosphere bolstered by custom-made music and sound design.
- Handcrafted Experience: From the code to the music, and even the 3D models—everything is made from scratch by HiddenWare to ensure a unique and immersive experience.

/editHello there, thank you for your gameplay! I appreciate it very much!
If you are in need of a soundtrack,
I found a good 2 thousand+ songs on soundimage.org
The owner is really cool about letting you use his resources if you give credit. If youre big about atmosphere i know you will find something to use there/
Hello there, i appreciate soooo much your feedback and also the gameplay too, i'm gonna fix those issues in the next hotfix, thanks for your time spent on my game!
Also i did watch your entire video and took notes on what should be done, as i see i got many things to update, THANK YOU!
I just want to make a side note as I forgot about this but the pages that you read could be split into smaller parts. that way you don't spend a large chunk of time in one spot reading.it would allow more flow and gives you less down time in between spookiness. also maybe give the option to put the text on the screen so its easier to read
I think i understand what you mean, i can do that, gonna make it for the next hotfix too, thanks!
Not bad, you should work more on the game as you can
