In All My Dreams I Choke On Invisible Smoke is a HTML5 unsettling visual novel/point and click exploration game about a high school student who begins to have surreal dreams, with some small inspiration to Yume Nikki as well. This VN has 2 endings. I did only one last time, so this is the other ending that you can get, and it's tied to the choices you choose in the last dream sequence.

Overall, without spoiling much or a lot, this game/vn is very interesting. Visuals are really good, the really weird NPCs do really talk in riddles and symbolisms, and they really are a mystery and interesting as well. And the NPCs are likely the one of the things in the game that has inspiration to Yume Nikki. During the reality segments, I like the side art of the character, and the drawing of representation, of how they are and feel, on the current segment or situation they are in, it's a pretty nice touch! There's also a number of political and religious talks going on in this game. Despite being a short game/vn, I think the analysis require for this game is a very deep one to understand it. Overall, very interesting, and really mysterious. I might also need to see what the other ending one was, to fully grasp and share like a short insight. Ofc, I'm sorry I don't really share long analysis in games and things, but maybe one day. And with the other ending has been found, I think it adds up more now to what was happening in this game.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
