Realm of Nightmares

• Land of Dreams: Adelaide has the power to traverse the world of dreams, where she accesses the unconscious world of individuals.
• Lucid Dreaming: As Adelaide completes the dream worlds of each individual, she can enter their body, gaining new abilities or characteristics. As the levels progress, her powers become more apparent.
• Moths: Moths are present in the game and serve as spiritual guides for Adelaide to overcome mental challenges.

Emperor's Tyranny

• Evil Empire: Adelaide fights against the Ultraviolet Monarch, a nearly Lovecraftian tyrant who arrives on the island.
• Prison Break: There are two in the game, the initial one where Adelaide escapes from prison, and another halfway through, where Adelaide starts a rebellion, freeing the other prisoners.
• Inspiring Speech: During the revolt against the Ultraviolet Monarch, Adelaide gives a long speech to the fugitives, inspiring them to fight against the monarch.

Protagonist: Adelaide, the Dream Girl, Moth Queen
The youngest of the prisoners, a girl born from an impossible pregnancy, the daughter of the old maiden. A sacrifice made so the island could be illuminated by the sun once again.
At the start of the game, she suffers from hunger as the guards refuse to give her anything to eat, labeling her mother a witch. She prays to the moon, and a ghost moth appears. Adelaide eats the moth and enters the world of dreams.
By making others consume the moths, she enters their dreams, gaining control over them or changing the past to alter the future.

Emperor: The UltraViolet Monarch, The 8th Color.
At the beginning, a hooded figure wearing a crown slowly contaminates the castle until the place is fully corrupted by the Ultraviolet Monarch’s influence.
At first, the Island of Itching had an archaic democracy where the elderly could decide whether to keep or remove their leader each year. The leader was thrown into the sea if they failed, making room for a new elder.
Failed leaders were indirectly used as sacrifices, as food for the abyss of the sea. The abyss, in turn, would return favor to the people. Nature always feeds from what it is fed.
Then, on the night of the thickest storm, a faceless man of unimaginable age comes and assumes leadership, changing his identity to the Ultraviolet Monarch. He takes power over the island and becomes its new tyrant, imprisoning those who show rebellion and severely punishing them. Despite coming from the sea, countless treasures emerged once he took power. The island now lives under constant clouds, with the only color visible being that of its king.
