A small "vent art" game about the world.


I started on this in May and finished it in September because life + Flash was givin' me grief :c


Drag anywhere from 1 to 3 ingredients into the bottle to tailor the Dream Medicine to each person.


This game wasn't really prompted by anything happening in the world in particular, but it is about wanting to help people.

I've never really made something for the sake of dumping out thoughts like this before, so I hope it came out okay and that you enjoy. I'm curious as to what people will think of this.


I'm also feeling better since starting this project (and even then, aside from a few things I was doing pretty good).

I hope you're all doing well too!


Thank you to @CarpetBakery for letting me pick at his brain for ActionScript help, and thank you to @Jojo for the awesome music.

Neat little game. Strongest points were definitely the art and music. The gameplay was a bit arbitrary at times, where some combos will have differing effects on the same prompts. I liked the random encounters and not just for the extra points (economy must be in a bad state when you get stick ups in the dream space). The game evidently came from the heart and was less about making a message than it was about expressing some general thoughts and really, that's fine.

So yes, I did think it was nifty.

haha i made people suffer!

I give people da pills

As for the money-dragging bug, it also can affect the cane and maybe others sometimes, but rarely.

The bug seems to trigger when you drag the money diagonally from the money plate to the bottle. You can bypass the bug by instead dragging the money vertically upwards, and then, once at top, drag it to the right onto the bottle. Ditto for the cane or anything else triggering it.

It does not seem like playing the game for longer triggers the bug at all, but that it is always present. At least this gives a workaround for people.

Some help for those who need it. Each dialogue needs it's own recipe
I FEED CHILDREN FAST FOOD -> BURGER + HEART + MONEY
DEALER WON'T GIVE ME DRUGS -> DRUGS X 2
FAT KID ASKING FOR ICE CREAM -> BURGER
"FEEL BETTER" GUY -> BRAIN X 2
CAN'T FIND PARENTS & SAD -> STICK/CANE X 2 + HEART
That's all I've managed to found
Be lucky enough to have over 2500 score (or sth) and you'll get re-ministered

Boyyyy that was pretentious as fuck.
I'm curious about the other recipes, though. But there's no fucking way I'm going to figure them out. It was chore to find these ones...
