DREAMS

Freelance Narrative Designer at The OR Strategy

Game Description

Set in 1980's America, this set of 12 recordings illustrates the struggles of two very contrasting characters who are forced to work together on their Psychology major project: finding people willing to describe their dreams, and then discussing various dream theories to develop their understanding of the person and their psyche. These recordings take place in a wider alternate reality developed by the company and explored in other projects.
