What it is about
Step into the role of a Weaver—an unseen guardian who enters the dreams of mortals, weaving visions of hope and inspiration while battling the Nightmares that haunt their sleep. In Dreamweaver, you’ll use a Tarot deck, your imagination, and a journal to guide clients through their emotional struggles, one dream at a time.
By day, townsfolk visit you with their worries, fears, and aspirations. By night, you enter their dreams and build intricate spreads of Tarot cards to banish Nightmares and uplift their spirits. Your successes inspire the town, weaken the hold of fear, and help clients face the real world with newfound strength. But beware—should a Nightmare win, despair begins to creep in.
What You'll Need:
A Tarot deck (Major and Minor Arcana)
A journal (digital or physical)
Time, creativity, and a willingness to dive deep into human emotion
Features:
A dual-phase system (Day/Night) for immersive storytelling
Deep narrative mechanics tied to Tarot draws
A growing challenge system with escalating Nightmare strength
A unique "Thread" mechanic for modifying your spreads
Multiple “Weaving Patterns” to master as you gain experience
Dozens of distinct Nightmares and Hopes, each with rich lore and gameplay impact
Dreamweaver is perfect for fans of solo journaling games, dreamlike narratives, and Tarot-based mechanics. It’s less about winning and more about the emotional journeys you craft and the stories that unfold.
The town is waiting. Their dreams—and their fates—are in your hands.
