Have you ever dreamed about the end of the world? I have — but only twice that I can remember. But I think dreams are an interesting way to peer into anxieties and concerns, and so built a "dream system" into the post-apocalyptic video game I've been working on. open.substack.com/pub/doomsday...

As a kid I used to have apocalypse dreams around every 3-4 months or so. Alien invasions, zombies taking over the world, sudden volcanoes in town, strange machines over the horizon, etc. And somehow the vibe in each dream was it was my fault, somehow.
