Dreams are the environments experienced when we sleep. Dreams satisfy the greed of our subconscious. Dreams are also a testament of the ego. In dreams we can find shadows of the real world, a projection of reality. When the difference between dreams and reality becomes blurred, can the difference really be told? Dreams then become wild beasts, silently devouring the will of the Dreamer.
Explore with Xi-sheng this limbo between reality and the imagination – this horrifying candy-coated world. Guide him as he seeks to save his family, his best playmate Mu-Sheng, and at the time, save himself.

All 4 members of our small team come from the National Yunlin University of Science and Technology. Made originally as a graduation project, we decided to make Halflight a full-fledged game after receiving 1st Place in an official Unreal Engine competition. This is our first game, and we hope to bring a slice of Taiwan culture to all the players. We hope you can find something familiar inside, whether it’s a small item that resounds with you, or a long-lost memory.
