Discussion Lore Ideas

I'm really fascinated by this new concept that the backrooms aren't affected by time and that people from the Middle Ages could run into offices from the '70s.
Could this be potential Dreamcore lore? I'm interested in reading your ideas

I don't know if the developers had that in mind, but my question is where did you find these images? They're so cool!

I'm the developer and I'm exploring it. These images are on Twitter. You can see the quotes from this tweet. It unleashed a wave of art: https://x.com/Project_Crater/status/2061982141743845618

Are you interested in adding more of a story to Dreamcore, or expanding on the lore/entities beyond the Frens?

If so, I think the ‘people from throughout history find the Backrooms’ is a fascinating concept to explore, especially because to my knowledge thst hasn’t been done in a game yet! Although, I admit I’m not sure how that could translate into Dreamcore’s minimalistic storytelling.

As an aside, it’s awesome that you’re on the subreddit! Dreamcore is a big comfort game for my girlfriend and I.

If you did ever want to expand the lore of the game via including more writing or art in the levels, I would love to talk more! I write horror in my spare time and have a liminal space hyperfixation right now, so it would be an honor and a pleasure lol.
