Dreams on a Pillow - a videogame experience about the 1948 Nakba, based on a true story

Reported by Edwin Evans-Thirlwell | Nov. 29, 2024

Palestinian developer Rasheed Abueideh has announced Dreams On A Pillow, a mixture of stealth-adventure and interactive documentary set during the Nakba - Israel's violent displacement and dispossession of Palestinian Arabs in 1948, shortly after Israel's founding. Created by "a global team of veteran game developers", it's the story of a Palestinian woman grappling with the loss of her baby after fleeing a bloody assault on her town. Here's a description of the game, via press release. "Dreams on a Pillow is a pseudo-3D Stealth-Adventure game based on the true Palestinian folktale of Omm - a Palestinian mother who fled the massacre of her town with her new-born child. After running for an hour in sheer panic, she realized that she had carried a pillow to safety, instead of her child. Inspired by the story, Dreams on a Pillow explores Omm's life story, showcasing both the history of Palestine before the ethnic cleansing of the lands, and the trauma borne from the violence that was inflicted upon the Palestinian people during the Nakba." According to the announcement materials, Omm's journey as a refugee takes her through the sites of several atrocities, including concentration camps and attacks on Palestinians near the Lebanese border. Whenever she is able to rest, the game switches into a documentary mode, "reliving a rapidly fading memory of a pre-Zionist Palestine" by means of archive imagery and text. Omm's principle possession is the pillow, which serves as both a terrible reminder of her lost child and a kind of coping device. When carrying it, she's not able to interact with objects or do things like jump, crawl, throw rocks and climb ladders. Putting the pillow down, however, triggers Omm's guilt and trauma, provoking nightmares that "reveal dangers of the mind, and shroud the dangers of the real world". The immediate practical challenge during the stealth-adventure sections, then, is to complete whatever objectives are at hand and retrieve the pillow before Omm's delusions overwhelm her.

Full Release Version Out Now!

After two and a half years of development, we've finally completed the game. We hope you enjoy it!

DEAD HEARTS STILL BEAT

A ROMANTIC COMEDY RPG WITH A BITING TWIST

Life as a kindred can get dull. You’ve spent all of your undead life pushing papers, bumping shoulders with Camarilla officials, and worst of all? You’re getting no action. Luckily for you, there’s a chance to escape the monotony, and possibly find true love in your unending cursed existence.

In the small town of Sanctuary, located two hours out of El Paso, Texas, they’re hosting a festival to celebrate the once every one hundred year event of an elder vampire awakening. With enough vacation days under your belt, you think it’s time for a holiday! You pack up your belongings and head to the rough-and-tumble rural hellscape, hoping to find a new lease on life. 

After all, what could possibly go wrong?

DEAD HEARTS STILL BEAT is an RPG visual novel inspired by Disco Elysium, Monster Prom, and Hatoful Boyfriend. Explore the small town of Sanctuary and interact with all of its quirky little inhabitants! With lots of quests, branching storylines, and mischief to get into, even failure will at least make you crack a smile.

Featuring:

7 branching character routes, each featuring at least three different endings

A simplified version of the VTM 5th edition RPG mechanics, players may train 9 base stats during their adventure, rolling subsequent dice to see whether they succeed, fail, or botch any given situation. Choices matter but so does your luck.

3 different protagonists, players may choose to be of clan Malkavian, Nosferatu, or Venture. Each clan has differing abilities and personalities. Your clan can greatly affect your outcomes.

 Manage your blood, money, and time, as well as maintaining The Masquerade to make sure your time in Sanctuary doesn’t end prematurely…

Original Soundtrack!

Original hand drawn art!

Dozens of items and quests!

65 + Achievements!

30000+ lines of dialogue!

Sometimes I wish we could experience earlier builds of Zelda games. The early preview for BoTW shows this inhabited area with some goat farmers in a region of the map that seems to be where Hateno Village is in the final game. You can see the Dueling Peaks mountain on the left and a much smaller Death Mountain in the distance on the right.

Between those two landmarks in the background appears to be a castle, very probably Hyrule Castle based on its size.

It seems that Mt Lanayru was originally much smaller and not covered in snow, or possibly even in an entirely different mountain altogether.

they seem to be quiteeee familiar with one another… idkkk…..

[meowguiiiin]

maybe I'll work on the game again... who knows..

I'm almost done it anyways, there's just the dream sequence then the final choice. I won't bother with the bonus chapter. Especially when I'm doing this on a kids' website lol

the story itself is already borderline for scratch...

[felstar-games]

I stitched together some of the animations for my game so here is the little ghostie fishing!!!

Its going to have a variety of faces you can choose from so thats why the first part of the animation is faceless lololol

I hope to finish the game by the end of august so stick around for more sneak peaks!!

The Lorax Fangame :D

So as a side project, I'm helping my buddy Zach with his Lorax fangame :D

here's some of the concept art, sprite retextures, a shop and a room I worked on (title art by Zach)

Here's some screenshots from the game!

Zach was awesome enough to suggest that I should have a cameo appearance as a thank you, so my cameo would be a cashier in one of the thneed stores (like Temmie in the Tem shop from Undertale) :D

The game is still in development, however you can play the demo! Please give Zach a lot of support for this, he needs it! you can follow him here
