Dare to Dream is an adventure game produced by Epic MegaGames, now known as Epic Games, released in early 1993 for Windows PC. It is the second game designed by Cliff Bleszinski, after The Palace Of Deceit: Dragon's Plight . It supplements adventure-style gaming with graphics, although Dare to Dream relies more heavily on the graphics than its predecessor. Volume One: In a Darkened Room Tyler is caught in his dream... He discovers something is coming, something terrible, and he must stop it. First, however, he must escape his dream... (This episode was released as shareware.) Volume Two: In Search of the Beast Tyler’s best friend, Terry, calls him over to their fort where Terry is keeping a mysterious key he found—the same key Tyler saw in his dream the night before! Tyler uses this key and it hurls him into his imagination. While there he must search all of his happy thoughts, trying to find a way into the lair of this developing monster. Many characters appear, including BoneHead, CementHead, Omar, and more. Volume Three: Christian’s Lair Tyler must delve into his most horrible and sinister thoughts in order to find the evil creature that is plaguing him. The tension builds as you discover the Forest of Agony, the River of Sorrow, and MUCH, MUCH, MORE! The story builds to a climactic conclusion in Christian’s Lair.
