We’re excited to announce yet another demo update!
New features
The biggest changes introduced in this release are the new difficulty modes.
Difficulty modes have been built as an accessibility setting, and as such they can be set when starting a new game or at any point (except in combat) from the options pause menu.
The game currently has 3 difficulty modes:
- Dream: Your damage output is increased, enemies attack slower and their most challenging attack patterns are disabled. We recommend this option to players who want to enjoy the story with a more relaxed experience.
- Reality: Difficulty settings as Dreamed Away was designed and intended. We recommend this option for your first time playing the game. Expect some challenge!
- Nightmare: Enemy attacks are faster and more dangerous. For players who thought 'Reality' wasn't a challenge. Expect to struggle as enemies will hold nothing back.

But that's not all! We brought in some of the latest changes from the full game in this build:
