Explore Oneironaut – A Narrative RPG Played In Your Sleep!

I am not sure if you all know, but one of my favourite hobbies is sleep! Being cosy and tapping into the brainbox of whimsy storage truly is something I love to do. I have spent years upon years decrypting what happens in there, stumbling across a gnome faction of blow-darts, a dangerous yet beautiful forest home to a wide variety of poisonous frogs. Both giant and tiny, of course.

Quite often, people will ask me how I come up with the weird and wonderful whimsical breeds, races, objects and worlds, as creativity is something I and find myself incredibly passionate about. And the answer is simple - sleep!

Since I can remember, I have been writing down my dreams every morning, as a tool to aid in a positive impact on my mental health. My subconscious awakening after I close my eyelids - with enough practice and attention from my part. Inside was a dark and stabby, cute and cuddly universe, which became translated from the corners of my mind onto the tabletop worlds I have explored.

I stumbled across a wonderful RPG, combining solo aspects and interestingly enough - sleeping. So here's the interesting part, Oneironaut is played in your sleep.

You have control over the world that is created, as your brain assumes the role of both GM and player. As players wander into the dream world as an Ahiag̃ soldier in a battle against the Yurupari who want to claim dominance over the realm. Remember, it is your realm to shape with narrative provided for your subconscious to control.
