The Dream Machine is a point-and-click adventure game in five chapters created by Cockroach Inc, a two-man Swedish independent game development studio. The studio consists of Anders Gustafsson and Erik Zaring, who make each chapter by hand using materials such as clay and cardboard. The final result is enchanting and surreal, the stop-motion style animation perfectly complimenting a story that delves into a world of dreams, both figuratively and literally.
