Welcome to The Shame of a Daydreamer!

This is a character and story focused rpg game where choices have severe consequences, and shame and mental health affects possibilities and limitations, set in a world that's like a minefield where your actions can cause the world to reach a dead end. 

The game takes place during 7 days - Monday to Sunday. There will be several different possible endings. 

Choose your vessel of shame! Play as either Elias or Felix and discover their filthy secrets, get to know their complicated families and try to reach Sunday without fucking everything up.

Who are these boys you can play as ? Which one should you play as? Let's ask the parents of the boys!

Elliott, tell me about your son. 

Elliott: "Hmm ... Elias ... Well ... He's ... a psychopathic pervert and aggressive animal who began life by murdering his own mother. Don't play as him. Who knows what he's capable of ..."

Okay ...

Levi, should I play as your son, Felix, (or as you call him, Cain)?

Levi: "Ha! Sure, if you want to play as a pathetic coward and special snowflake with strong school shooter vibes that will probably end up becoming an incel ..."

Do you trust the words of the parents..? What kind of people are these boys,  actually......?

Regarding the adult content

This game contains adult themes of sexual and violent nature. There will be depictions of sensitive topics usch as sexual violence, depression, anxiety, self hate, suicide, trauma and shame. There will be themes of harmful family relations and dynamics.

What can you find in the DEMO of The Shame of a Daydreamer?

• 2 playable characters → 2 very different experiences with different content 
• choices and actions (and lack thereof) have consequences - not close to as much as the full game, but still some!
• a soft start to a story rich and character focused game with lots of lore
• complicated families 
• a world that is more odd than it might seem at first glance
• repression, perversion and shame
• 2 different endings depending on which character you choose

The demo takes place during 1 of the 7 days + a kind of epilogue to the first day (or a prologue to the second day).  So - you start the game on Monday, and I encourage you to explore the city and discover what the world and their characters have to show you (and hide from you). 

Learn about the effects of shame and mind and try different choices, and don’t be afraid to fail - some mistakes can lead to new knowledge after all :)) 

When you feel done with the day you go to sleep and after that you experience a scene (very different depending on which character you play as) and then the demo ends - where in the full game Tuesday would start. So make sure you explore everything you want to explore before going to sleep - because after bedtime, things will be different!

How long is the demo? 

One playthrough, one character ≈ 1 hour of gameplay - it depends on some of the choices you make and the consequences you can end up with and how much you explore etc.
