Dream Broadcast Simulator Manual

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.

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.

Dream Broadcast Simulator supports mouse, keyboard, and controller navigation.

• Mouse: point, click, drag, and use the scroll wheel where available.
• Keyboard: Arrow keys move focus; Enter or Space activates; Escape goes back.
• Controller: D-pad or left stick moves focus; the primary face button activates; the secondary face button goes back.
• Quick save: F5. Quick load: F9.

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.

Station Calibration and Settings provide narrated game menus, Blind Play Mode, Relaxed, Standard, and Challenging difficulty, separate music and effects volume, text scaling up to 2x, high contrast, multiple palettes, reduced motion, and a no-timing tuning assist.

Press Alt+N to toggle menu narration or Alt+B to enable Blind Play Mode from anywhere. Blind Play Mode also enables narration and no-timing tuning. Press Ctrl+Shift+Space to repeat the focused control, Alt+S for station status, Alt+L for the loaded lineup, Alt+T for available tapes, and Alt+H for shortcut help.

The game exposes control names, roles, states, values, dialogs, station resources, events, tape details, and deck assignments through spoken narration and an ARIA live region. Frequency tuning can be completed with the keyboard-only “Complete Tuning Without Timing” action.

If motion or visual effects feel uncomfortable, disable CRT effects, enable Reduce Motion, adjust contrast, or take a break before continuing.

If an input device stops responding, reconnect it, return to the main screen, and try again.
