About the game:
Devastated Dreams is a psychological horror game combining the two things that have scared me the most - being an expectant parent and feeling totally vulnerable in a rural area of the Philippines without any electricity or running water. It is a narrative focused game telling the story of Angel, a young woman who may or may not be expecting a child as she has to journey through twisted nightmares plagued by horrible monsters from Filipino folklore.
Story:
Similar to Neverending Nightmares, the story is told through seemingly unconnected dreams and nightmares. However, we will tell a compelling story in this game rather than just focusing on emotions and symbolism. Because of the importance of the game's narrative, we are focusing on telling one story well rather than having branches and multiple endings.
The protagonist of the game is Angel, a young Filipino woman who is living in the rural area of Aklan in Western Visayas in the Philippines. Visayas is a region rumored to have the most aswang - Filipino legendary monsters that are like vampires and werewolves only more twisted.
Western Visayas was also devastatingly affected by super typhoon Yolanda (known internationally as Haiyan) in November of 2013. The game will also feature other real locations from the Philippines including the Kabayan caves, which house fire mummies - incredibly well preserved bodies using a unique preservation process. Since the game takes place in nightmares, we can explore different regions of the Philippines that express the fears of the protagonist.
The narrative is character focused. As you play through the game, you'll find out more about Angel, her situation and her fears through what happens in the nightmares as well as by examining items and letters that she encounters through her journeys through terrifying places in the Philippines.
Is Angel really pregnant? What happened to her child? Where is her family? Why do aswang haunt her in her sleep? You'll have to play the game to find out!
