DREAMIO is a 'choose-your-own-adventure' game where stories and visuals are dynamically created through the power of generative AI in response to your decisions. Explore endless worlds with limitless possibilities; go anywhere, do anything.
Players can adjust the game's ruleset to determine how the AI narrator operates, modifying the challenges and freedoms within the story. This allows players to shape the narrative based on their preferences and imagination, creating a highly personalized adventure.
The gameplay centers around the player's direct interaction with the AI-powered narrator. Players can type, speak into a microphone, or choose from suggested options to communicate with the narrator and drive the story forward. The narrator responds dynamically to the player's choices, creating a sense of immersion and a unique experience with every playthrough.
The game offers a nonlinear "choose-your-own-adventure" style of gameplay, where the story unfolds in real-time based on the player's decisions. Players can choose from preinstalled starting prompts, such as "Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse" or "Exploring an Alien Planet," or create their own, leading to unique adventures with multiple possible outcomes.
The game uses generative AI to dynamically create the story, illustrations, and narration. For example, the AI-generated illustrations with Stable Diffusion bring the player's journey to life, adapting to their choices. Similarly, the text-to-speech technology provides a narrator who accompanies the player throughout their adventure.
The game's save system enables players to freely explore different story branches and outcomes, encouraging replayability. Players can experiment with various decisions and see how they impact the narrative, further enhancing the game's appeal as an open-ended, personalized adventure.
The game's integration with the Steam Workshop allows players to share and download custom prompts, expanding the possibilities for exploration and discovery. For instance, players can access a wide variety of community-created prompts, from fantastical scenarios to grounded slice-of-life stories, and continue to shape the game's narrative through this collaborative aspect.
