Raveling Dreams is a 2.5D isometric puzzle adventure game built in Unreal Engine 5, primarily through the Blueprints visual scripting system. Combining 2D sprites into 3D modeled space, you control the player character traveling through past core memories, reflecting on the things you wish you could have or should have at the time, and repairing your past through these memories. The player character's appearance and identity is randomized each playthrough as part of our exploration into what representation can look like in games, creating a unique experience for each player. The game emphasizes diverse representation and mental health, especially the mental health of queer and neurodivergent people, which is rarely portrayed in video games.
