A Journey Through Two Realities

In Traumtal, the story unfolds across two intertwined dimensions: the present-day dreamscape and vivid flashbacks from the protagonist’s past. Players will navigate an imposing 19th-century villa and a mysterious neo-gothic boarding school, exploring the secrets hidden within. As the line between dream and reality blurs, every discovery pushes the protagonist closer to understanding the truth about his past.
