Step 01
Pick three tapes
Read the dream cards, their moods, freshness, and slot fit before choosing tonight's lineup.
Step 02
Program the night
Load one dream into Midnight, Deep Night, and Morning Drift, then tune the broadcast signal.
Step 03
Read and improve
Use the results breakdown to grow the audience, earn credits, buy tools, and plan the next broadcast.
01
Core loop
Each run unfolds across daily broadcasts. Choose dream tapes from the shelf, assign one to each of the three nightly slots, tune the signal, and broadcast the completed lineup.
The result screen explains each slot score, timing quality, combo effects, audience growth, credits earned, and practical guidance for the next night.
02
Choosing and assigning dreams
Dreams carry moods, slot fit, freshness, rarity, and frequencies. Midnight, Deep Night, and Morning Drift reward different programming choices. Look for strong individual fit as well as shared frequencies across the lineup.
Fill all three slots before broadcasting. You can remove or replace a loaded tape until the transmission begins.
03
Tuning and results
During frequency attunement, align the moving waveforms and lock the signal. A clean harmonic lock improves the final transmission; a noisy lock can reduce an otherwise strong lineup.
After the show, inspect the breakdown instead of relying on the headline score alone. Slot performance and coaching notes reveal which assumptions worked.
04
Controls
Dream Broadcast Simulator supports mouse, keyboard, and controller navigation.
- Mouse: point, click, drag, and use the scroll wheel where available.

05
Progress, store, and saves
Spend broadcast credits on consumable signal tools, audience boosts, discovery equipment, and permanent station upgrades. Item effects are named in the interface when they affect a broadcast.
The game stores progress locally and provides save/load slots. Steam Cloud can synchronize supported save data when the game is launched through Steam and Cloud is enabled.
06
Comfort and troubleshooting
