Lore notes

Nestled between jagged cliffs and the endless sea, the town of Pearlitide is a place where the boundaries between reality and dreams blur. At dusk, the townspeople retire to their homes, their minds filled with fantasies, fears, and aspirations. At dawn, the tides carry those dreams ashore, transformed into vivid, tangible forms that linger until they merge back into the sea at dusk. This ephemeral dance between night and day shapes life in Pearlitide as residents face manifestations of their deepest selves. The landscape is dominated by persistent fog and ancient myths of sea creatures that once tried to trap their own dreams ashore. Technology struggles in this corner of the world, often succumbing to the whimsical forces of dreaming.
