Melatonin is a rhythm game that takes place entirely within a series of dreams, blending music-based gameplay with surreal visuals. Each level represents a different dream, and players must tap, hold, or press buttons in sync with the beat to progress. Instead of traditional note tracks or visual cues, the game relies on subtle animations and environmental changes, encouraging players to feel the rhythm rather than follow obvious markers.
Dream Themes and Visual Style
Each dream in Melatonin explores a different theme, with visuals inspired by the thoughts and experiences of the character falling asleep. From shopping sprees to late-night snacking, every dream transforms an everyday activity into a musical challenge. The soft pastel art style gives the game a unique identity, while the rhythm gameplay connects directly to the actions happening on screen.
Melatonin doesn’t separate its gameplay from its atmosphere — the music, art, and themes all work together to create a seamless experience. As players complete levels, they gradually uncover more about the character’s life, seeing how their thoughts and emotions shape each dream. This blend of rhythm-based challenge and quiet storytelling allows Melatonin to deliver both creative gameplay and a sense of progression, making each level feel connected to the larger dream world the player explores.
