Empire of Dreams
'The Empire of Dreams' is a (point-and-click) exploration game, where you get lost in a world inspired by the paintings of surrealist René Magritte.
You must choose a character to go and explore. Collect the tool items which you can use to recover 5 treasure items, so you can retrieve your favorite pipe and find your way home.
Every new game you start will have some objects distributes randomly to keep things interesting and every character has their own specific tool, already in their inventory.

No sound? Or is the browser based emulator just acting up?
There's no audio in this version, indeed. I have a couple of upgrades planned but sound is pretty low priority at the moment.
as a big fan of magritte i really love this!
Glad you enjoy it! A++ for the Magritte avatar :D
Can you launch this game on google play?
Sorry, I have no plans to turn this into something for Android.
There are myriad GameBoy emulators on google play, you should be able to play this in any of them.
Great work! Really impressive translations of surrealist art despite the limitations of the format, looks lovely!
Thank you! It took a lot of work but it was very fun to do.
