"I can't remember when the sun last felt warm."

Within The Dream is a text-only narrative experience, developed using Twine, that explores the fragile boundaries between reality and the psychological scars of our past.

It is a story about the quiet moments of depression, the cyclical nature of abuse, and the exhausting effort of maintaining a slice of life when everything feels like a dream you can't wake up from.

We are focusing on raw, honest writing. No graphics to distract from the weight of the words.

Writing for *Within The Dream* has been a journey into empathy. We're spending a lot of time ensuring that the depiction of abuse and depression is handled with the gravity it deserves.

It’s not an easy game to play, but we believe it’s a story worth telling.
