Plot Spoiler Synopsis: The world is falling apart, things are happening that don't make sense, and everyone seems to be blissfully unaware even as they stand right in the midst of the madness. You are not going insane; there are others who are aware of this happening, others who are Awakened. Together, you can save the world ... or Awaken the rest of the people and set them free from this false world that has finally shown its true colours. The Nitty-Gritty, with spoilers are everything: Spoiler You are a fictional character in a world created by a drug addict with crippling depression ("God"). When God is having a breakdown, so does your world. As you go to sleep and wake up, you go back and forth between your world and the "real world", and you bring more and more characters into the real world. You can either save God and thus save the world or kill God and free everyone from your world.

Images and Screenshots Spoiler Special Thanks Spoiler I'd like to thank my roleplaying group for being awesome and letting me make our game into a ... game!
Sounds interesting but you might want to couch things in more fantasy language so the game doesn't feel too "on the nose" as it were. Just a suggestion.
Haha I plan to :] I guess it's kind of hard to be subtle and open at the same time when describing the game on here, 'cos I have to go into some detail to get any meaningful feedback Thanks for the tip! This is more exciting than I thought it would be XD
