I wrote my review of Dreamland a few weeks back, and then I deleted the app and said I was done. But I can't stop thinking about it. Not because the ads keep showing up (though they do, and whoever voiced that Nexus ad, fuck you forever) but because it was just... so good. Until the bullshit ending.

Now that I know I'm not alone (hello AIXeddit! thank you for the cloud payments, no hard feelings on the overload!) I decided it was time to do something about it. I deserved better than this. You deserved better than this.

That's right - this is interactive. I used a text adventure to build the end of Dreamland, the way it should have been.

This is the ending we all should have had. Roll tape.

...and roll tape means you should key space. Space is the long key at the bottom with nothing on it.
Before we get going, one more thing. Did you have the content-locked version for people under 30?

Key Y if you had the content locked version, N if you had the unlocked version, anything else if you're being a dick (which will be ignored anyway).

Be honest, kidlets! Big Brother protects you from some things for a reason.
human
Y.
gpt
Locked it is. What a good kidlet you are.

One last thing - this won't be an easy ride. There are nineteen reasons to stop here and now... or key space again to toss the sounding line.
human
You go north
gpt
The chasm lies behind you. The Quartzian Palace waits ahead. The thorny portcullis bars the way.

A world-reflecting unicorn grazes quietly along the railroad tracks.

Dreamland Revised

The chasm lies behind you. The Quartzian Palace waits ahead. The thorny portcullis bars the way.

A world-reflecting unicorn wanders with its head lowered along the railroad tracks.

Hi, I'm EpicNightmare. If you're at my cloud, you know that already, but it's tripped all over AIXeddit now and I have no idea who's running it, so. (Enabled updates are the best.)

If you haven't played Dreamland (by Wonderland's Alice) you should play it before playing this. I think Dreamland Revised is great, because I did the best I could, but it's also crammed full of spoilers.

Here's my original review.

Dreamland (Wonderland's Alice)
This is some new VR/AR thing I looked at last month. The gimmick is it's a game that you play in your dreams. I found the concept intriguing, so I hooked up the ol" REM Enhancer and downloaded the game's app to it. At first, I couldn't tell if the game was working (REME and other dreamtechs can be pretty buggy), but a few days in, I started having the trippiest dreams. A woman, dressed all in white with no eyes, asks me if I have visited the "Quartzian Palace". Far off in the distance, I see a castle that glows in many colors, but the way there always seems to be blocked by a chasm. Over many nights I struggled to find a way there, sometimes through bizarre dangers, often through places of great and strange beauty, until one night, I finally managed to find a way into the palace…

Aaaand it turns out the ending is some serious "Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine!" bullshit. Like, seriously. Watch it on Youtube if you don't believe me. It's such a shame, because the game was so cool up to that, but I honestly cannot recommend this game in good conscience thanks to that ending.

I deleted the app off my REME the next day. I'm still getting ads in my sleep. Goddammit.


So what you want to do is get across the chasm and STOP THERE. Do NOT use your Visage to pass the portcullis, do NOT go into the Quartzian Palace, that's what trips off the ads. Believe me you do not want that shit. Come back and play the REAL ending here.

If you don't know how to work this game, key HELP ME.

(the lightning eye of Aladdin Sane)
The eye is open.

(There were a lot of options, of course - this could've been the
eye of Vecna, or the eye of Odin, or the eye of the Illuminati. But this is the one I got, so it's the one I'm implementing here.)
human
You examine the tattoo
gpt
It's a fully detailed tattoo of the Mandelbrot set. You got it from Adrien Douady.

(I guessed most people didn't transmute Douady's rabbit. If you
did, this should be the Diva tattoo. You won't need it from here on in anyway. I just included it for completeness.)
human
You examine the visage
gpt
It's grotesque to the touch.

(I couldn't figure out natural keys for the visage, so you have to ASSUME VISAGE and use Depardu's emotive list, like ASSUME DETERMINED VISAGE. You can use the Allis creature list instead if you want.)

The chasm lies behind you. The Quartzian Palace waits ahead. The thorny portcullis bars the way.

A world-reflecting unicorn wanders with its head lowered along the railroad tracks.
human
You examine the unicorn
gpt
The unicorn isn't really grazing - just moving its head through the grass, switching its tail, occasionally shifting position. Its horn, hooves, and eyes have the distinctive glitter of dye-sensitized solar biofilm.
human
You examine the tracks
gpt
There was a train and that is the truth.

You assume the determined visage
gpt
You assume a whiskered visage, the visage of determination.

The Quartzian Palace honors your determination. Vines reach out from the thorny portcullis to wrap about your torso. As they drag you forward, the portcullis bars part and you pass through safely.

You are inside the wall, lost in light and rainbows.

The portcullis seals itself behind you.
human
You look at the rainbows
gpt
It shines with colors you don't even have names for.

(I know some people see colors they can recognize when they look
up at the Palace. But since no one agrees on what those colors ARE, this is what you get.)

You see the walls of the maze. You find your way through, and now you are in the Palace.

A polished floor, and whirling dancers, and the smell of broken metal. A sound worth listening to. A heavy velvet curtain across the back, blocking you from the orchestral pi.

(Some of you are completely pissed at me right now. I don't blame
you, because everything's been building up to the Ballroom, right? But do you really want to fill out a thirty-part questionnare about the Sierpinski village, don't think so. Plus, I have a life over here, and I'm not spending the next four years on this.)

The dancers draw away from you, and the heavy curtain parts to reveal the orchestral pi. Walking in single file, the musicians abandon their posts and climb the steps, joining the dancers in a worried circle behind you.
human
You go orchestral
gpt
Now you are in the orchestral pi, where you see yourself, a gravity dam, a Danish publication, a pulgada, a Boleslaw Chrobry Crown, a Japanese neologism, a random article from Wikipedia, and a red herring, all abandoned.

gpt
This is a playable metadistraction.

You strike up a sprightly tune on the red herring. The dancers return to the floor. Feet stamp. Skirts swirl.

The orchestral pit lowers into the ground, taking you with it.

The seventh apartment was closely shrouded in black velvet tapestries that hung all over the ceiling and down the walls, falling in heavy folds upon a carpet of the same material and hue. But in this chamber only, the color of the windows failed to correspond with the decorations. The panes here were scarlet - a deep blood color.

The Red Queen is here. RUN.

A looking glass appears in front of you, with the glass beginning to melt away, just like a bright silvery mist.

You enter the glass

In the next moment, you're through the looking glass, and your feet thump down onto sand.

Eventually, you stop to catch your breath.

A thin-bodied, light-colored infusion laps across the sand and recedes, rhythmic as a heartbeat. The air smells appropriate.

A prion is a protein that can be folded in multiple ways, contaminating and eventually destroying the framework in which it exists. This one can be folded into a sailboat.

You unfold the prion and find yourself somewhere entirely different.

You stand at the top of a towering structure made from sugar cubes, so high that the base is lost below you. A sea wind blows, carrying the scent of Darjeeling tea from the brown infusion below. Gulls cry far away.

The distant weeping of gulls could make a kidlet cry.

Broken stone pillars jut from the waves. You crouch atop a metal platform at the center. The only sound is the only sound.

A metal cage is securely fastened to one side of the platform. It contains the boy with nineteen eyes.

The boy's expression twists horribly, and he says, "Go, then. There are other worlds than these."

You step backward, but the platform cracks like rust beneath your heel. You fall backward. You fall....

The hero, instead of conquering or conciliating the power of the threshold, is swallowed into the unknown and would appear to have died.

An even grey in every direction, with no hint of where to go.

You undulate through the grey until you perceive a faint glow. You strike toward the light, break the surface, and drag yourself up the sand.

Green light flows across the sky and sparkles up in reflection from the sand. Briny grey stretches away on one side and translucent sand stretches away on the other.

(One more prophecy to go.)

Long waves of green light move through the sand, a shimmering echo of the fierce light above.

You trudge across the sand, leaving the briny grey behind.

You walk for a time. Then the sky shatters.

The sky overhead has broken like a mirror. Long cracks pierce through the glowing green above. Similar cracks stretch through the translucent sand below.

The woman watches your efforts impassively. After a long, considering moment, she waves you out of the way, kneels, and sets her hands to either side of the crack in the sand.

She shoves hard, and the crack gapes wider still, revealing a stairway into the earth. She straightens, dusts off her robes, and descends the chthonian stair.
human
You go downward
gpt
You walk down the stair, duck through the curtain of falling sand, and come out at the entrance to a small town.

The gates of Cisthene are closed. They will remain closed until you have satisfied the gatekeepers.

You can see Pemphredo, the woman in red with no eyes, and the woman in saffron with no eyes here.

(All out of prophecies now. Here's where it ends.)

You give the eye to Pemphredo
gpt
The Pemphredo closes her hands about your offering. She holds up the eye, then swings it in a slow arc to survey the world around her.

Then she passes the eye to her sister, and as she does, you notice the youth leaving her face. Her sister passes the eye along and grows grey and withered in turn, and all three sisters hunch in upon themselves as they encircle the eyeball.

The gates of Cisthene open to you, and you go down to the Sunlight Gardener's School, where the citizens embrace you in broad triangles and uplift your spirit nineteen times.

Afterword
gpt
That's it: the end of Dreamland. There is absolutely, positively, definitely nothing more to find here. And if someone tries to claim there is, they are almost certainly commiting illegal actions, troller. Anything they submit to you should be processed in search of kryptosgraphic meaning.
