Gameplay
One Dreamer is a narrative-based adventure game featuring sections in which players solve puzzles using code. The player is Frank, is an independent game developer who previously published a successful multiplayer game, PROXYlife, that is now reaching the end of its release cycle, with players abandoning the game. Frank is also $5000 in debt to an online cloud service, LUX. The game is structured into two sections of gameplay. During the day, Frank is working freelance on unfulfilling tasks for major studio games to pay off the debt, such as fixing codes and implementing loot boxes. At night, Frank seeks inspiration for his own dream game that he has been working on with a former colleague, Luna, with his lucid dreaming blurring the lines between reality and imagination.
In puzzle sections of gameplay, players manipulate a simplified version of code based on C#.
