Circuit Dreams
You are a tiny maintenance process inside the DREAM-CAPACITOR, a broken machine that once generated endless dreams.
Now its memory is fragmented, its trauma loops on itself, and something inside it is still trying to wake up.
What is this?
Circuit Dreams is a short narrative maze game made in Bitsy.
You explore the inside of a dream machine by walking through its circuits:
- A central hub of pipes and gears
- The Memory Fields to the east, where data is corrupted and repeated
- The Memory Maze to the south, a layered labyrinth that loves to loop you back
- The Dream Core above, where everything eventually converges
Right now this is an in-development build focused on:
- The hub area
- The Memory Fields prototype
- A multi-room memory/trauma maze with a “Trauma Module” at its core
Themes
- Getting stuck in loops vs. finding a path through them
- Fragmented memory and systems that “remember” errors as well as successes
- The feeling of being a tiny part inside a much larger process
There’s no combat, no jumpscares, and no timer. The difficulty comes from:
- Navigating layered maze rooms
- Figuring out which exits actually move you deeper
- Paying attention to small hints inside the environment
How to play
- Move: Arrow keys / WASD
- Interact: 'Z' / 'X' / Space / Enter (standard Bitsy controls)
- Walk into glowing doors/portals or off the edge of the room to move between areas
- Talk to terminals and signs for hints
Content notes
- Contains references to memory loss, looping thoughts, and “trauma modules”, but no graphic imagery.
- Visual style is abstract: pipes, circuits, scars, and glitchy text.
