Thank you for the kind words! It's nice to hear that you had a good time! :D
We do understand your feedback when it comes to the theme. We do however assure you that our game has been crafted in the time frame of this jam and follows the rules mentioned. It seems like we could have worded the description a bit better, so here's a more detailed explanation:
The Bigmode Game Jam tells us to interpret “mode” in your own way using any definition of the word. After asking Google to "define mode", here's what it had to say: "a way or manner in which something occurs or is experienced, expressed, or done."
Our game is built around a real dream that has occurred in the past and helps the player relive it, in a dreamlike & intense manner. We consider this to be a valid and meaningful integration, but you are always free to have your own opinion! :D
