Echo of the Void Game Concept Document World Setting In a universe where dreams are tangible energy that can be harvested and stored, humanity has built massive floating cities powered by dream essence. These metropolises hover above an endless ocean of clouds, connected by luminescent bridges made of crystallized dreams. However, a catastrophic event known as "The Great Awakening" has caused most of humanity to fall into a dreamless sleep, leaving their cities dying and vulnerable. The world features: Floating cities with architecture inspired by Art Nouveau, where buildings seem to flow like liquid dreams Dream-tech: technology powered by crystallized dreams, creating ethereal light effects and gravity-defying mechanisms The Cloud Ocean: an endless sea of clouds hiding ancient ruins and forgotten civilizations below Dream Wells: massive structures that once collected dreams from sleeping citizens Void Zones: areas where reality breaks down due to dream energy depletion Main Character Mira Chen Appearance: A young woman with vitiligo, creating patterns on her skin that mirror the crystalline dream patterns in the world. Wears a retrofuturistic outfit combining practical explorer gear with elegant dream-tech accessories. Background: A former dream maintenance worker who discovers she can not only see but interact with the dreams of others while they're trapped in endless sleep. Personality: Pragmatic but empathetic, with a dry sense of humor that helps her cope with solitude. Struggles with the responsibility thrust upon her as one of the few remaining conscious humans. Special Ability: Can enter and manipulate others' dreams, but each intervention risks fracturing their psyche or her own. Supporting Characters ECHO (Environmental Consciousness Holographic Operator) A malfunctioning AI companion that speaks in poetry and music, gradually developing consciousness through exposure to dream energy Appears as a constantly shifting constellation of light particles Struggles with existential questions about the nature of consciousness and reality The Sleepwalker A mysterious figure who appears both in the real world and in dreams Seems to know the truth behind The Great Awakening Changes appearance based on the observer's deepest fears or desires Main Conflict The apparent antagonist is the dream-depleting phenomenon causing the endless sleep, but the true conflict revolves around the nature of consciousness itself. As Mira delves deeper into the dream world, she discovers that The Great Awakening was intentionally triggered to prevent a greater catastrophe: the complete merger of dream and reality that would erase individual consciousness.
