Hey! Thanks for the kind words. So if you interact with your Journal by pressing J and then check out "The Purple Sea" entry, that should give you a hint. Here's the section in the walkthrough if you're still stuck. Hopefully this helps! 

You guys absolutely killed it! Looking forward to seeing the full thing.

Damn, I'm not 100% sure sorry :( Are you getting any errors at all or is it just a straight-up crash? Someone on reddit was unable to boot the game up and it was due to them not having the latest DirectX installed, so you could try that. Have you tried disabling and/or uninstalling Norton and then running the game? You could also try running the game as an admin or in different compatibility modes (right click the .exe > properties > compatibility > tick run this program in compatibility mode for).

If those solutions all fail and there's no other way that you can play it, I did upload a full walkthrough on YouTube.

Hey! Thats worrying, yeah you're laptop should have no issues with it. I'm curious to see if anyone else has encountered this issue. 

Here's a few troubleshooting suggestions -- can you try lowering the resolution, anti-aliasing & quality of everything (shadows, post-processing etc) via Options from the Main Menu as everything is defaulted to Damn Fine which is the highest. Maybe adjust the game to be in windowed mode too. And finally, try both application files, first try the application file at WindowsNoEditor\WeLiveInsideADream\Binaries\Win64\WeLiveInsideADream-Win64-Shipping (which is the correct file) then try the file in the WindowsNoEditor folder. Let me know how that goes!  

No problem at all! Let me know how that goes and hopefully you can return to the dream...or maybe you are already there?

Hey! Damn, apologies for this. This is a really irritating bug. It was a known issue yeah. I revamped the dialogue system and it was no longer reproducible for me (even now it's still not reproducible for me) so I thought I had fixed it...evidently not. I'll do some investigation on my end. In the meantime, could you try tapping the arrow at the bottom left when the first set of dialogue options show up? Clicking the arrow skips to the end and hopefully should allow you to progress.

Nice one! Enjoy living inside a dream.

Thanks for highlighting!
