Overview:
Zach, a broke college freshman and chronic underachiever who’s been coasting through life without a purpose, just found a curious phone game called re: Dreamer. This incredible phone app has world-bending powers, and he accidentally turned himself into a sexy and voluptuous young woman before he even finished the tutorial. Even worse, unless he wins this perverted game, he’ll never be able to change back!
With an impish and unreliable in-game A.I. as their only lead on how to change back and the ability to get help from a single friend he’s allowed to invite, will Zach be able to win this predatory game without giving up the things that make him a man in the process, or will he lose and remain stuck as a woman?

Changelog:
- New writing with Britney introducing Zach to part of her theater department on Friday of Week 2.
- The text substitution system had a robust test with the names for the theater members. As Awkwardness increases, Zach buys more into Britney’s eccentric theater director’s nickname games.
- Britney, Keisuke, and Ai now work in the sprite viewer, although not quite to the insane detail of Zoey. Of the three, Britney has the most features.
- There’s a new casual outfit as a choice between it and the existing eggshell white turtleneck sweater and women’s jeans outfit for Zoey to wear as her “default” outfit in the Keisuke route. It looks really, really cool, and has options for a choker, bracelets, and several colors of sunglasses.
- There’s also a new compression bra outfit. It works so well that it’s less realistic than the entire premise of rereamer.
- I added a new variant of the tracksuit for the Zoey sprites I made based on the tracksuit from the placeholder Keisuke Mirror HCGs (I also added a related green version of the big hoodie and two new expressions by transposing them from CGs TiltSHIFT drew!)
- Finally got rid of the ICC profiles on the backgrounds and made the color depth 24 bits (meaning that there’s no alpha channel like a 32-bit image). I’m surprised it took me this long to remember to do that…
- Fixed the school colors reverting to default values inside the sprite viewer if no changes were saved.
- A few typo fixes here and there.
Developer Notes:
Nigmabox has also provided a helpful player-focused flowchart in her glowing review of 0.10.5 here that should give a general outline for the routes.
Characters:
Ai is the unreliable and mischievous A.I. that came with Zach’s copy of re: Dreamer. She seems to treat this all as one big game, though it probably is just that for her. Ai appears to have her head in the gutter 24/7 and seems to take great pleasure in teasing Zach. It remains to be seen if Zach can trust her.
Britney is a dorky young-adult blonde white girl and anime/game/cosplay otaku who is quite attractive but abrasive if you can’t keep up with her pace. She and Zach met in high school and bonded over their similar taste in anime and mobage. She is also Zach’s only female friend.
Keisuke is Zach’s childhood friend and neighbor. Despite being opposites, the two have been best friends since they were little kids. He’s an athletic prodigy and social butterfly who gets along well with the ladies, despite being a blunt meathead. Though their personalities have diverged since they were kids, they’ve known each other for a very long time and have a strong bond of trust.
