Have you ever wondered what dreams are made of? Have you ever wanted if you could control your dreams? In 1997, the government started a top-secret project called ‘Project Dream’. The objective was to be able to produce a system, which can control a subject’s dreams. This would help the medical world in relation to problem such as stress and other psychiatric problems. In 2003, they did it. Combining the most advanced super computers in the world, along with extensive research, they created a machine, which they could use to control a subject’s dreams while they sleep. It was perfect except for one major flaw. If the subject were to die in their dream, their body would die along with it. Those working on the project tried to correct this flaw. All but one. A scientist named Maverick Kruez. He suggested that the technology be used as a weapon, to deal with America’s enemies. Needless to say, he was labelled as a madman. Convinced that they were unable to correct this flaw, the government cut the funding and pulled the plug on Project Dream. That’s when weird things started to happen. One by one, each of the staff working on the system disappeared without a trace. Soon, there were only two left. Maverick Kruez and Simon Crane. Knowing about Maverick’s sadistic mind, the government sent the CIA after Maverick to capture him as they believed he was responsible for the deaths of his co-workers. Somehow, Maverick found out about this, and he went into hiding, taking the system and Crane along with him.
One year later Maverick, still working on the dream system, which he renamed ‘Nightmare’ decided to perform a little experiment. He sent Crane out to collect ‘subjects’ for his little project. Crane was a bit picky with what subjects were to be used. He chose people that were criminals, have mental disorders or people that no one will notice was gone. Crane knocked each one out using tranquillisers and brought them back to Maverick’s secret laboratory.
One by one, each of the subjects awoke. Each with one throbbing headache and not knowing what happened. They looked around to find themselves in a strange room. Suddenly, a sadistic, unseen voice began to speak.
Greetings my little friend. Welcome to your worst nightmare!!
Incase you guys are confused, we’re a bunch of random guys who are now stuck in a nightmarish world full of monsters and things frightening beyond imagination. Our objective is to get out of this world, while trying to survive every horror you encounter whose soul purpose is to kill you in the most inhuman way possible. Any questions? Now there’s some important stuff I need to explain.
Weapon Upgrades: throughout this RPG, you’ll be able to upgrade your weapons so you can kick more evil monster *** then ever. Upgrading your weapons is a lot like in FF8. You upgrade them by collecting special items and fusing them with your weapon. What items you need is up to you, try to keep the upgrades within reason. Try to be realistic about where you get these items (I mean like, killing a skeleton like monster will probably get you some sort of bone, and so forth). You’ll only get the upgrade items from killing monsters, you don’t find them lying around. Also, I’ll allow only six upgrades and if you have more then one weapon, they must be shared among the them (I mean, say if you had two weapons, you could have each one have three upgrades each. If you have one weapon, it will have six upgrades).
Soul Harvest: A Soul Harvest is a bit like a limit break. It’s a very powerful move, which can do a hell of a lot of damage. In order to use them, you need to collect souls from monsters you kill. You collect souls into your weapon and you can use their power to use a Soul Harvest. Once you use a Soul Harvest though, you have to collect the souls all over again.
If it sounds confusing, I don’t believe you. But trust me, its actually quite simply (It’s just really hard to put into words). Now this RPG has been rated M15+. It’s got a lot of violence and gore, and there will be some swearing.

I slowly opened my eyes. I was lying on the ground and had a throbbing headache.
Where am I?
I looked around. I was in a dark room. All alone. There didn’t seem to be any doors or anything.
Greetings my little friend.
The voice seemed to come out of nowhere.
Welcome to your worst nightmare!
“Who are you!?” I cried out, “Where am I!?”
Oh how rude of me. I am Maverick. And you’re one of the fortunate individuals involved in my little project. You see, you’re asleep. This is all a dream.
“A dream?”
Yes, but this is a different sort of dream. You see, if you’re killed in this dream, you’re real body dies with you. And unfortunately for you, that’s exactly what I plan to accomplish! Have fun.
Maverick’s laughter rang throughout the room. I began pounding on the walls.
“Let me out!!” I roared. Suddenly, there was a flash and I was now standing in what appeared to be the main hall of a castle. A large flight of stairs was at the far end. It seemed old and ancient. There was a sense of evil in the air.
“Where the hell?” Then I heard a shuffling sound coming from behind me. I spun around to see three zombie-like creatures shuffling towards me.
“What the…!?” Before I knew what was happening, they were on me. They dived at me and slashed at me. I leaped out of the way. I really couldn’t fight back. I was unarmed. That’s when I saw it. Leaning against the wall was a skeleton. But what caught my eye was the sword sticking out of it. One of the zombies charged at me. I dived for the sword and with one, fluid motion, I ripped the sword out of the skeleton and sliced the nearest zombie in two. Broken bone was flying everywhere. The second zombie leaped at me. I gave it a spinning kick, sending it flying into a cupboard on the wall. I noticed to guns. I dived for them, but a zombie stepped in front of me and slashed me. Maverick’s laughter rang throughout the room.
It will take more then a sword to beat them!
I grabbed the guns and smiled.
“Sword. Huh, time to go to work guys,” I replied, taking aim. With three shots, I blasted one of the zombie’s heads off and decapitated the final one with my sword. I looked over corpses. There was blood everywhere. Suddenly, a white mist rose from the bodies. A ghostly wail filled the room and the mist began to surround my sword. It glowed white for a few seconds before returning to normal.
“That’s interesting,” I said to myself, gazing at the sword.
Okay, here’s how it works. We’re all separated and unarmed. I expect you all to find your weapons on your first post.
