Empty Dreams

by JingJie Chen


Empty Dreams is a journey about finding oneself. The player wakes up in a forest and starts climbing up a mountain of memory fragments and subconscious symbols. An imaginary friend appears every so often and reveals more about the memories, identity, and philosophies behind the construction of this mountain.
