Dreamcutter is a 2D platformer made by Ten Pennyfingers using the Others engine. You play Haley, who is trapped inside her own mind with her friend Lucia. The pair seek escape by finding the Dreamcutter, a mysterious scythe with hidden motives, while navigating strange dangers and exotic encounters. The adult content includes lesbian themes.
Development is ongoing, with the current release listed as v1.1, dated May 26, 2023. It runs on Windows in English and is uncensored. The latest changelog entry notes a GoG version. Earlier v1.03 added an optional SFW mode from the options menu, a fresh-install prompt for that mode, five manual save slots, an autosave slot, small tweaks to item locations and hub areas, a green distance indicator for Haley's swing, corrected credits, and general bug fixes, including the Flee To Sanctuary option. v1.02 introduced major performance improvements, a controller fix, and Arcade mode while addressing repeating cutscenes.
