Shape of Dreams is a fusion of MOBA-style controls and systems with action roguelike gameplay. Explore the dream world, edit your Memories, and create your own hero!

The Rapids - The realm between dreams and reality
One day, the boundary between the dream world and reality collapsed, allowing passage to an intermediate realm called "The Rapids" through dimensional rifts. With rumors of unknown origin claiming that anything is possible upon reaching the end of the dream world, heroes step into this mysterious realm, each with their own reasons.

Memory Editing
You can edit your Memories to create your own unique character. Use your past Memories in combat to defeat enemies. Attach mysterious gems called Essence to your Memories to grant special effects and create synergies.

A ranged carry with absurdly powerful melee attacks? A self-destructing mage? Everything is possible!

Uncover the Secrets of The Rapids
The dream world is ever-changing. In this procedurally generated world, dream dwellers, quests, various events, and hidden secrets await you. The diverse secrets existing in this world will provide new experiences with each run. Unlock over 200 collectibles along the way. But be careful, the Hunters are always watching you.

Challenge Yourself Endlessly
With difficulty selection and permanent upgrade systems in place, you can enjoy everything Shape of Dreams has to offer even if you're not particularly skilled at games. However, if you enjoy a challenge, ruthless trials await you, including Lucid Dreams that let you bend the rules of The Rapids and powerful hidden bosses. Overcome these trials and prove yourself!

Diverse Characters and Playstyles
Confident in your mechanical skills? Then we recommend Mist, a fast and agile melee character! How about Vesper, a sturdy and powerful tank? Or would you like to carry your friends as a ranged damage dealer?

Shape of Dreams features characters from various roles including ADCs, bruisers, tanks, mages, and more. Find the character with the playstyle that perfectly suits you.

Solo or With Friends
While Shape of Dreams offers a complete single-player experience, it also supports up to 4-player co-op multiplayer. Experience excellent cooperation through rich interaction systems including healing, buffs, and crowd control!
