About This Game
Picayune Dreams
Lost in the endless expanse of s̴p̵a̶c̵e̵, you must fight off endless hordes of inter-dimensional beings t̷o̶ ̸c̵l̵a̷i̵m̵ a few more brief moments of life. P̸̯͛i̸̲͌c̶̖͝a̵̙̔ý̵̥u̷̱̒n̸͖̓ḛ̸̔ ̷̣̕D̵̢͑r̵̰̕e̶̘̓ã̴̧m̶͉̈s̶͓̄ will challenge your skill, endurance, and perseverance through a m̸i̴n̷d̴ ̵w̴a̶r̶p̷i̶n̵g̸, psychedelic, bullet hell nightmare.
Survive hordes of nightmarish creatures. This game does not favor passive builds, and will require you to stay on your toes, weaving through enemies and incoming attacks, while collecting resources and upgrades when and where you can. Modify your runs with limited elements of roguelite progression.
A gauntlet of Bullet Hell bosses will test both your defenses and offenses. These high-octane, punishing battles are be driven by a pulse-pounding, glitchcore soundtrack from Milkypossum.
Immerse yourself in a psychedelic atmosphere, filled with secrets, that will keep you guessing at every turn. The more you think you know of the story, the more layers you'll find to peel back. The story elements are largely option, but will provide depth and context for players who wish to explore every corner of Picayune Dreams.
Inspirations
Taking inspiration from a varied collection of our favourite games: Vampire Survivors (roguelike horde survival), Touhou (true bullet hell), Yume Nikki (surrealist visual stylings and secrets), and Diablo (power scaling and item visualization).

[h1]SEX![/h1] Now that I have your attention, this game is pretty good. I enjoy the bullet hell sections, and although I'm not the biggest fan of rougelikes, I like how all the weapons feel powerful and there is a lot of room for "gaming the system", so to speak. Great graphics and music as well, this is criminally less popular than it should be. 10/10 corpsemaxxing experience
better than vampire survivor
toxic cyborg yuri Okay, obligatory joke aside. This is my favorite bullet shooter of all time. It reminds me a lot of the spirit of Ultrakill, where it plays very much like a sandboxy type of experience while also having some fun with the expectations of the genres its taking inspiration from. As someone who grew up playing lots of Touhou because my computer couldn't handle any heavier kinds of games, this was a very satisfying game for me. It might not get on the same level of-- intricate, let's call it --as Touhou, but I do think that's greatly to its benefit. It knows what it wants and executes it very well. I liked the story, and I also liked that you had the option to "skip" the story if you wanted to. Please at least try it. It's amazing. And it's literally 5 bucks and runs on almost anything. Only complaint is that there's not more content and ESPECIALLY that there isn't an artbook.
how story animation youtubers explain 1 hit off the cart
The game was absolutely fantastic until the DEV's decided they should put a lvl limit. You are not able to max out your upgrade tree. Their explanation is that they wanted to force builds. Well i am a pretty bad gamer and when you put a limit to how much i can grow, i end up not finishing the game. And when you make a game you create a playing field for people to play the way they want. Not to force them to play the way YOU want. Sorry but this single choice is absolutely mindbogling. Everything else about the game is fantastic. Story, Atmosphere. Gameplay.
coolest vampire survivors inspired game i've played :) oh the aesthetics oh the ost \(▽ ̄ \ ( ̄▽ ̄) /  ̄▽)/
any enemy that fires projectiles should be sent directly into the deepest circle of hell
I can't elaborate, but you'll probably like this if you were into webcomics in the mid-2010s.
This game has, in less than seventeen hours of playtime, permanently altered my brain. The gameplay and story are both outstanding (if a bit separate), the only thing that I feel the need to mention is that there are certainly some sections I'd describe as being horror (for me the main ones I had issues with were the second and fourth memories, but the first four can all fit that description), and that you shouldn't go in to those without expecting at least something unnerving to occur.
