Twilight State

A short game about the twilight state, that strange, unstable edge between sleep and waking where the mind is conscious enough to move but too deep in dream to trust what it sees.

This game was made as part of the FIT Easter Game Jam 2026 in 48 hours.

Ingredients:

• Mushrooms/On shrooms:Dreams can often feel psychedelic. Distorted, fluid, and strange.
• Something is different: The dream-world doesn’t follow normal rules. Sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes barely noticeable.
• Borders: The boundary between sleep and wakefulness is thin and easy to lose track of.
• You don't cross the same river twice/You can't return: Dreams don’t let you go back, you can only continue, even when you’d rather not.

Controls: M&KB/Gamepad

• W,A,S,D / LStick - Movement
