Playtesters

I don't think it's possible to make a game like Slumber Realm without the support of playtesters.

Every week in the Discord server, playertesters post ridiculous things that I didn't think were possible.

Like doing 33,554,433 damage in a single hit. How is that possible when her only damage card did 2 damage?

They keep me on my toes and I love them for it.

Achievements

Achievements are super fun when implemented well. They should do a variety of things. They should help the player learn the game initially, they should guide the player to trying a variety of content, and they should introduce interesting challenges. It was my goal in designing the achievements for Slumber Realm to do all of the above. Here are a few that I really like, either for mechanical reasons or thematic ones. Almost all the achievements are a reference to something from the 90s! If you happen to be a 90s IP holder, please don't sue me.

Note; All art is placeholder! We are working on hand drawn illustrations now but they take time to produce.

31 more to achieve in the full game!

- Sk8er Card, Slushie: changed from healing 3 per Trick on itself with 1 Use to having 3 Uses that deal 1 Brain Freeze Damage to you and grant 1 Trick to every other friendly Card.

- Sk8er Card, Waxed Curb: changed from dealing 3 Damage per Trick on itself on rolls of 5 or 6 to rolling Yellow 1 through 5, moving all Trick in play to itself, then dealing 3 Damage.

Howdy, the Slumber Realm demo has received another big update!

I'd like to introduce you to the Brain Sheriff.

Ok, I'll admit this may seem totally random but there is a method to the madness. You see, your brain is what helps you regulate your emotions. The resources in Slumber Realm are emotions. And this Brain Sheriff helps you regulate your emotions by offering a trade of emotions. So, it all SORT OF makes sense! Also, Slumber Realm takes place in a dream world so it doesn't need to make sense.

Fixed hover tooltips showing under tutorial dialogs

Certain market dialogs no longer show during the first market visit

0.4.0 (4-1-26)

Added new Lunch Lady artwork

0.3.56 (3-30-26)

Restructured the training run to include more battles, the Tinker Aspect, memories, and limited use equipment
