Video game I saw in a dream. It was in this low poly style like an older video game. You play as this character I think was meant to be a lamb, or maybe a weird mix of a lamb a mouse and a rabbit, (while not really looking like any of those things) and you’re running away from a wolf. Your objective is to last as long as possible before the wolf catches and eats you.
The house you’re running in is endless and bizarrely put together like most building interiors in dreams are (like the infinite toilet dream dimension on Reddit lol) the layout of the house is pretty detailed, you can stop and hide in places like closets or bins while the wolf looks for you, you can go up and down stairs and into rooms etc.
You never actually know where the wolf is or how close it is to you until it appears in your line of sight, it makes no noise and the game gives you no way of knowing where it is, and it’s pretty unpredictable it doesnt move at a consistent pace. When the wolf catches you there’s an animation showing it eating your character
Spongebob is the best show.
I know often iPads are antisocial and not developmentally appropriate for small children but if you’ve ever watched a group of them try to solve a difficult level or something together it really looks like this
I've been getting into the habit of drawing traditionally as a way to wind down before bed. Granted it's while my room is dim as fuck so I mostly get out scribbly sketches from it but either way
Pomni is my boyfriend
Ragatha and Pomni should be yuri
And I hate Jax and I don't trust him <3
