A gorgeous, unsettling dream world you piece together one riddle and one forgotten memory at a time.
Who it's for
Groups craving a long, story-heavy campaign with real puzzle-solving and gorgeous production, played over many sessions.
Not for you ifβ¦

Vibe's take
immersive, surreal, puzzly, heavy, atmospheric
Etherfields drops you into a dreamer's fractured mind and asks you to piece together who you are, one surreal Dream at a time. You explore hand-painted dreamscapes that shift from beautiful to unsettling without warning, solving escape-room style riddles hidden in the artwork itself: spot a visual clue, connect scattered details, trust instinct as much as logic. Combat and choices flow through a deck you build and reshape across the campaign, so your growing abilities carry real weight into each new nightmare. The story starts simple and deepens fast, unraveling a forgotten past you're not sure you want back. It's a heavy, gorgeous campaign game built for a group who wants to live inside a dream for months.
