KA Tan created Dream No More for the DiscMaster Game Jam, drawing heavily on media sourced from the Internet Archive via the pre-Internet data DiscMaster search engine. This moody end-of-the-world narrative repurposes a series of beautifully captured museum archive photos to transport us to a world after a global bonfire of the vanities has consumed all art and media from our civilization’s past. Only the dream architects have access to a last treasure trove, but their processes to produce transmittable dreams to send out to the populace also gradually depletes these scarce remaining works. They hate this, but if they stop, humanity will lose its mind.
