The game tells the story of Lloyd, a boy who is aware of the fact that he is dreaming. To Lloyd's misfortune, the dream quickly turns into a nightmare and all of his attempts in waking up end up failing. While exploring the darkest corners of his subconscious, Lloyd learns how to survive the nightmare by bending the laws of physics and manipulating the fluid fabric of the dream world. Apart from gravity-defying puzzles, Lloyd will have to use stealth when nearby enemies. He has no chance of winning in an open confrontation, since the creatures he will encounter are much more powerful and faster than him. Instead, he has to rely on careful planning to avoid getting detected.
