An Abyss of Dreams

About the Game

As the Great Darkness descends upon the province of Quebec, young Thérèse’s world collapses. Following her mother’s death, she is sent to the Saint-Nicolas-de-la-Passion Orphanage, a place governed by brutality, silence, and unquestioned faith, where suffering is routine.

Each night, Thérèse slips into another realm. At first, it feels serene, almost beautiful, but beneath its dreamlike calm lurk unspeakable horrors. This world of dreams may hold the key to the disturbing events unfolding behind the orphanage’s walls...

An Abyss of Dreams is a first-person point-and-click adventure steeped in cosmic horror. Traverse two intertwined worlds, a grim orphanage and a haunting dreamscape, to uncover the source of the afflictions tormenting its children. Explore richly detailed environments, solve grounded yet surreal puzzles, and piece together a tragic mystery that rewards keen observation and careful deduction. Experience a poignant, unsettling narrative that confronts the dark legacy of Quebec’s Catholic institutions and the children left in their care.
