Follow the story of a group of friends who share the same dream world, despite being unaware of it. One of them accidentally "awakens" to the ability of shaping the world to his own will. Strange occurrences start happening as the others gradually awaken as well, the world seemingly falling apart.

It won't let me enter any of the doors. I've been trying for ages now. Do you know why or what i'm doing wrong? I'm still on the first one.

I'm sorry to hear you encountered trouble! Just go to the right, there's a staircase. It will teleport you up. Now that you stand on the upper floor, it's the first door.

i cant push the arrows on the two sides? i cant move :(

Hi there! Oh no :( What device are you playing on?

whenever i try to play, when it get's to the part where i have to move eve, it won't move no matter what.

Hello! I'm sorry to hear that. Have you pushed the arrows on the sides?


I cant see my mouse while playing is that supposed to happen? also im just extremely confused on how to play can you please help? the game is amazing though

Hi there! No, you should definitely see your mouse, the cursor is a butterfly. In case you play on a touchscreen you can use touch instead of mouse. Please let me know if it still doesn't work D:

To walk you push the arrows on sides. All interaction is done by clicking/touching whatever you want to interact with. To defeat an enemy use the opposite color (of the one you see in top right corner), in order like reading from left to right. There's a time limit.

If you lose HP from one set of opposite colors you lose that part of the character's personality and have to catch it (click on it) before it escapes, then talk with it to join you back. You have to talk to it in the same language it understands: red = aggressive, passionate, blue = calm, sad, green = balanced, greedy.

Don't hesitate to ask about anything else and thank you for liking the game! <3

thanks! that helped a lot sorry I was a little confused about the colour fights but that helped, the games beautiful thank you <3

Great! Glad to hear that and thank you! >v<

im at the bit where he finds someone there is a blue and red thing at the bottom idk what to do TT

Hi there! I'm sorry you encountered trouble. Is it the first fight? Just try clicking on the colors in left bottom corner. It can't give you a game over :)

I really love this game! It is so beautiful - the sprites, the scenes, the scenery. The scenery is so detailed, and the story is really interesting. This game reminds me of the story-based platform games I'd play as a kid, so having that combined with BTS makes this game so much more special for me. I think my favorite part was when Jaghir and Mojo were meeting up with the others, and they started scaring each other lol.

The ending is a bit ambiguous to me. Does Eve going to his room make everyone wake up? Or do they all go back to their rooms and go on with their lives? Also, how did you come up with their names?

Ahh, sorry I have so many questions! You've created such an interesting world in this game, and I just want to know more about it ;-;

Thank you so much! Hearing you appreciate the old game vibes in combination with BTS makes me super happy >v< Haha got it, will add more funny parts to future games!

The ending is just like that, ambiguous and open~ The names are simple - each contains 1-3 important letters:


Noooo no need to apologize I'd love to answer any questions you might have! ♥

I'm stuck. i'm at thewhite rooms and i don't know which member to place in which part of the room(s). I guess it has something to do with the character but i still am not able to know what to do. the game is pretty fun and interesting :). i would play it again if i finished this round xD.

Hey there! Thank you so much for liking the game ♥ The rooms are indeed linked to the characters. There is already a post with hints on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bts_LD_exe/status/1099343778190630912

I hope this helps!

I'm so confused. I'm up to the par where Aimer just got told by Jaghir "watch out" and I can't beat it. Every colour i click, it says Game Over. Any ideas on what I should do?

Hey there! I'm sorry you have encountered problems. You probably have low health (numbers in the upper left corner) and click on a wrong color. If this is the case, it may be the best to play this chapter from the beginning and do your best to keep all health.

Please let me know if this issue persists ♥

I really like this game!! very creative i just love it. im currently kind of stuck in the white rooms where i have to make each character stay at a special place and idk how to get past but i will try ! i think it may have to be some sort fo connnection with the characters? but anyways besides that, i really really love this game

update! figured it out and the animation showing each of their fears were beautiful!!!! this game is amazing and i hope you guys decide to make more games like these or any games in general!!

Hey there! Thank you so much for loving the game, it means the world to us <3 Yes, the hints for the fear rooms are usually in the characters' safe rooms or attacks or something else connected to them.

There are more games in works, both original and k-pop inspired!

Once again, thank you for your sweet message~

No problem! i cant wait for your future games and im looking forward to support your future content <3<3<3

i don't understand how to get past the part where eve is trying to get back a part of himself T^T

I'm sorry you're facing difficulties! You have to treat him with the emotions connected to green color - greed, balance and so on. It's hard to confuse with blue emotions (sadness, calmness, ...). Green answers are usually suggestions about fixing things, restoring balance, being possessive and blue are more timid, full of concern and sometimes helpless.

I hope this helps! We (with Glow) will try to make negotiations more comprehensible in an update soon ♥

I don't know how to move I'm stuck with flaring police lights and a character that won't do anything :(

I'm sorry to hear that! There are arrows on each side of the screen, you just have to hold them to move. Let me know if it works :)

This is truly one of the best BTS fan games out there! The visuals, the music and the story are wonderful. It only took me about 5 minutes to get intothe game mechanics. At first I was a little confused because of the story but I figured that the more you progress in the game the more you get to know about the story. It's very unfortunate that this game doesn't have as much recognition as it deserves. But I wish the best for the game and the creators. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for playing and taking your time to write such a sweet message, Bomi! I'm grateful for your feeback and glad to hear you picked up the mechanics so fast ♥
