"Sogni" is a Linear-storytelling game, a sort of interactive movie. The subtitle is "The beginning" because what I've published is only the first part of a larger story that I've created.
I've worked on this game alone so do not expect anything mighty, I certainly did my best.
As already mentioned, the basic idea is to create a sort of "Interactive Movie" therefore everything will be based on simple interactions with the world around us, choices in the dialogue (to be polite or rude), some Quick Time Event. During the story we will control Steven, listening his breath that can be quiet or scared. Pay attention to the breath because it makes us understand Steven's mood and also why he behaves in one way rather than another.
The game is in Italian and English languages but without dubbing because I don't want that a bad dubbing ruins the game. I recommend using headphones.
Sorry for my english and stay tuned :D

Plot:

"We are frightened by nightmares: simple mental projections of our brain, totally controllable, which disappear in a fraction of a second.
Simply bad dreams.
We are terrified by that **notwithstanding**the knowledge that what is really scary is reality"

Sogni talks about the story of Steven Olsen, an ex-cop.
He was famous for his particular skill in solving cases through the dreams, he call this skill "sensation".
He was able to connect the clues while sleeping using the technique called "lucid dreams".
He was also "helped" by his blindness because he was (and he is) able to capture the signs that a body express like the voice tone.
But something happend some years ago when a particular memory invades his mind:
the lighthouse, the falling down sensation, the water... it's only a nightmare or a really memory?
He was no longer able to control his dreams, he entered in a confused and depressed state and then he was fired from the police.
His shrewd personality is in part lost (not at all), he is afraid to sleep and dream, sometimes he can't recognize the diffrence between reality and oniric.
Now, after five years, someone knocks at his door: Gwen Neuer
Who is she? What she wants?
Our story starts from here but where will it end?
