Hello everyone
Next Dream is a prototype puzzle game demo.
The core mechanic revolves around manipulating the Five Elements —Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth — to solve environmental puzzles.


The demo is available on:
1. GameJolt:Next Dream
2. Itch:Next Dream

Inspiration🧰

This project is mainly inspired by Q.U.B.E. 2 and The Talos Principle, with level layout and exploration ideas influenced by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Core Gameplay🎮

The core mechanic revolves around manipulating the Five Elements —

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth — to solve environmental puzzles.

Players climb upward through a vertical tower, unlocking new elemental powers layer by layer.

Each element introduces new interactions, mechanics, and puzzle ideas, gradually expanding the complexity of the gameplay as you progress.

Feedback Welcome🔎

I’d really appreciate it if you could try the demo and share your thoughts.

Any feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the puzzles or mechanics are more than welcome.

Thank you very much for playing!💕💕

I designed this level… and my friend found solutions I never even considered.

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

The Knightling launches on August 28! Wishlist it now so you don't miss out: https://bit.ly/KnightlingSteam

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)
