The Dream

Created by 404-GEN, Erno Forsstrom, and Ivan Lehusha

The Dream is set in a mist-covered future metropolis, you search for Xavia - moving through spaces that feel familiar yet subtly uncanny, where echoes linger and reality feels slightly displaced. It is a digital experiment built with 404β€”GEN, exploring how generative AI can expand creative practice by shifting focus from manual asset production to narrative design, world-building, and experiential authorship. Creation is guided by intention, mood, and meaning at a higher level of quality than traditional methods. Developed in one month by a two-person team, the project shows how emerging technologies can accelerate production while preserving a clear, cohesive artistic voice.
