About the Game
Become the Nightmare. Master the dream. Shatter reality.
Shape of Dreams is a fast-paced action roguelite that fuses hack-and-slash combat, MOBA-style teamplay, and endless strategic variety. Journey through surreal dreamscapes where every battle tests your reflexes and every choice shapes your fate. Play solo for a tight, skill-based challenge or team up with up to three friends in real-time co-op, improvising distinct combat styles and forging powerful builds that can turn you into the nightmare your enemies fear.
Here, the dream bends to those strong enough to shape it. Wield an ever-changing arsenal of skills, modifiers, and artifacts to craft devastating combinations, break through impossible challenges, and carve your own path of progression. No two runs are ever the same, and no single “meta” will carry you to victory.
Why You Should Play
Depth From Day One | With 8 Travelers, 8 worlds, and unique boss encounters.
True Replayability | Every procedural run forces new tactics, and no single “best build” dominates. Four difficulty levels, Lucid Dream modifiers, and endless build variety keep every run fresh.
Made for Solo and Co-op | Tight, skill-based gameplay for lone warriors. Plus, synergistic chaos for squads of up to four.
More Than Just Another Roguelite | Its blend of skill-shot combat, spontaneous customization and co-op gameplay make Shape of Dreams a standout roguelite experience.
The Shape of Dreams Experience
8 playable Travelers with unique combat mechanics and upgrade paths
150+ Memories and Essences to customize builds and transform abilities
9 Lucid Dreams to twist difficulty in unique ways

Improved the audiovisual impact of defeating Jonas.
Improved some text translations.
Cross-Play & Mod Compatibility:
Console platforms do not support mods. As a result, if mods are enabled on PC, cross-play with console players will be restricted. In this case, you will only be able to play with other players who also have cross-play disabled.
This measure is intended to maintain a stable gameplay environment across different platforms and to protect the gameplay experience of all players. However, we are currently working on a more flexible solution that will allow everyone to play together more easily, and we will do our best to improve this in the near future.
*If you wish to use cross-play, please make sure the Cross-Play option is set to ON in the Settings menu before playing.

Essence of Shatter now works correctly when elemental conversion effects such as Essence of the Abyss, Essence of Inversion, and Inversion Sigil convert damage into Light damage.
Fixed a softlock where leaving the game while holding an item would cause the item to disappear, permanently preventing further progression.
Fixed an issue where memory usage would continue to increase during extended play sessions.
Fixed an issue where the constellation texture on Yubar’s outfit was not animated.
Lizard’s Blessing Memory no longer amplifies damage taken from non-enemy sources, such as the Shrine of Dismantling.

Fixed an issue in co-op where using Shout of Oblivion at the same time another player traveled through a Rift to the next map could cause the camera to become stuck in an incorrect position.
Fixed an issue where Fire Tail could increase self-inflicted damage, such as Aurena’s Golden Explosion.
Fixed an issue where Rainbow Lizard Traveler Emotes did not display the Traveler’s name in their tooltips in the Emote list.
Fixed an issue where Mist’s Lunge would not damage enemies when cast toward a wall while standing against it.
Fixed an issue where, if a Traveler died in a room affected by the Symbiote Habitat event and the party then moved to another room, the fallen Traveler would permanently retain the increased Attack Speed and reduced Armor effects.
Fixed an issue where the Soulmate Memory was not treated as a Light-damage Memory, preventing completion of the “Twinkle Twinkle” achievement.
Fixed an issue where the total damage and duration of damage-over-time Memories could inconsistently increase or decrease under low-framerate conditions.
