School Dream

Your classmates remember what you say. Your dreams remember too.

You start ninth grade at Brookfield Academy, a small private high school in a small Oregon town. Day one is everybody's first day: nobody in your year has history you missed, and the class has not decided who it is yet.

Talk to anyone, about anything

There are no dialogue wheels. Type or speak to your classmates in your own words, and they answer in theirs. Each of the eight students in your year has a personality, a home, a private worry, and a life that carries on when you walk away. They form opinions, remember conversations, and build relationships with you and with each other.

Every school day plays out differently

A day is one slice of school life: Morning Arrival, Lunch, or a Free Period, and which one it is changes who is where and what they are talking about. Your first month is a 30-day calendar with stories running through it that do not wait for you.

After school, you actually go somewhere

Agree to go somewhere with someone and the afternoon plays out as its own place with its own game.

Paintball: teams picked in the lobby, cover to break, and a match that remembers who stuck together.

Fishing: an afternoon at the lake with whoever came along, every rod in the water and every catch counted.

Then you go to sleep

What happened during the day does not stay at school. Which dream you get is weighted by the day you actually had: what it was about, and how it felt.

Murder Mystery: question your classmates, find the contradictions, and accuse the killer. You can be wrong.

Homework Nightmare: a lazy day at the beach, until you remember the assignment due tomorrow, and something in the empty school starts opening doors.

Journey to Mars: fly beyond Earth and fight what is waiting there.

Naked Escape: you came to school without pants. Reach the exit without being seen.
