The official website for the game is 'https://ddlc.moe'. A cow with a dream. A cow who takes freedom for granted. But he's just a cow, living in a deception set by the farm and corporation that exploits them, milk and body. Gordi Freecow represents every naive, innocent, powerless and overwhelmed person in the face of the dual parade of powers-that-be and emergent stupidity. The Dream Machine is a point & click adventure game made out of clay and cardboard. You play as Victor and Alicia, a couple who've just moved into a new apar.
The Dream Machine is a meticulously-researched investigation that captures both the institutional dynamics and personal aspirations that led to personal computers and the internet. Waldrop digs deep (acoustics, cybernetics, information theory, Radar), and the result is a work that properly situates Licklider's work in its relevant context.

The Dream Machine is an episodic point-and-click adventure game developed and published by Cockroach Inc. (Anders Gustafsson and Erik Zaring)The main themes of the game are dreams and voyeurism.[3] The game is built by hand, using materials such as clay and cardboard. The game consists of six chapters released between December 2010 and May 2017.[4] The game is available on Windows and Mac OS X.
Gameplay[edit]
In The Dream Machine the player takes control of the protagonist Victor Neff. The player has to solve puzzles and collect items that can help overcome obstacles in the game.
Plot[edit]
The protagonist is Victor Neff, a young, newly wed man who has just moved into a new apartment with his wife. While trying to get settled, he accidentally stumbles upon a hidden camera behind the painting just above his bed. While his wife calls the police, Victor goes around the building searching for Felix Morton, the building's owner, eventually discovering the Dream Machine, a machine that allows a person to enter the dreams of others. The machine then attacks Felix, putting him to sleep, and Victor enters his dreams by using the two 'transmitter' and 'receiver' helmets. Eventually, Victor finds him and saves him from an oily tentacle. In his dying moments, Felix requests Victor to shut down the Dream Machine by going into all the other attendants' dream worlds (including those of his own wife and unborn child), and destroying the connections there.
The story is split up into six chapters, each chapter featuring a visit to at least one dream world.
Development[edit]
The Dream Machine is developed by Cockroach Inc. which is a two-man independent game studio run by Anders Gustafsson and Erik Zaring.
The graphics for the game were almost exclusively created by photographing hand-crafted characters and sceneries.

The Dream Machine began as a browser-based game, but transitioned onto Steam after being nominated for an IGF award in the Visuals Arts category.[6]
Reception[edit]
The Dream Machine's first two chapters were well received on release; on the critic aggregate sites GameRankings it received an average score of 81.50%[7] and on Metacritic an average score of 76.[8]
