Company line: Think you can win?...in your dreams

Plot: The game and film plot are virtually identical. On a lonely oil rig, lost in the swirling fog of an unknown future, there is a sad man called Krank. Aging prematurely because he can't dream, he kidnaps young children, hoping that eventually he will find a way to steal their sleeping thoughts and get his youth back . . .

Back on land in the city lives One, a mountain of man, innocent and brave. His mission is to search for his little brother, Denree, who has been kidnapped. By chance, One meets Miette, a young girl, leader of a wild bunch of orphans. Their tender friendship grows as the adventure takes its course. An adventure that will confront them with a multitude of bizarre characters . . .

Game design: Astounding post-industrial universe Game design elaborated in collaboration with Marc Caro, one of the most original talents in contemporary cinema (co-author of Delicatessen and the big budget film The City of Lost Children which was released December 15, 1995). The movie received favorable reviews from Roger Ebert and others (see URL below).
