I Dreamt of Something Lost
I DREAMT OF SOMETHING LOST is a short interactive narrative about data, grief, and memory. You take control of Jules as they sit down to their desktop computer and discover a new message from their ex-girlfriend - who died a year ago to the day.
Includes a functional fake desktop interface with:
- Instant messaging
- Music player
- Notepad app
- Navigable folders
IDoSL is intended to act primarily as a 'proof of concept' for the Phantasos Template, a code library made using Unity and Ink Studios' ink narrative scripting language to help digital artists and writers interrogate data through storytelling. As such, it is relatively rough around the edges - if you have any suggestions for improvement, please do leave a comment. Phantasos can be downloaded here: https://github.com/bodypoetic/Phantasos-Template

I really felt this.....
I loved it all, the characters, the artstyle, the atmosphere, all the cool details
it feels so real, I really wanted to get to know these people so it hurt to keep hitting the edges and worrying that everything would collapse even more if I kept doing it
and now I'm thinking about memory and my own data and GHOSTS, seriously this is such a haunting ghost story
thank you so much for this experience
Oh, gosh - this was such a lovely comment to receive! Thank you SO much, this is exactly the experience I was aiming for and I am extremely glad it spoke to you.
YOOO THIS WAS SO COOL
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I'M GLAD YOU THOUGHT SO :D
Ok, I really liked this actually. A bit like Emily is missing, but also it's own thing. I got an interesting ending one playthrough, then played differently and basically couldn't get an ending (tho it was worth it cause i went through way more of the content) are there multiple endings? how many, if so?
Thank you so much for commenting, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! There is only one ending, although dialogue along the way will indeed change based on your choices. I would like to release an expanded version at some point that will likely have multiple endings, though.
that would be really cool! loved the inclusion of academic material and of course what you've done with the photos. looking forward to see a full version, and your future work in general!
