We Love It's Guide to…

Strange Dream

You are trapped in a strange dream from which there is no waking. It is stitched from Chinese nostalgia, childhood echoes, and liminal spaces—where sense and nonsense blend freely. All you can do is keep exploring, until you must choose: return to restless reality, or stay in the dream forever?
