   Summary

   Let your dreams be your guide... (-JoD Tagline)

   Helen Cartwright is a perfectly ordinary 12-year-old girl living in the city of Bellbridge. A young violinist, Helen has been spending her days practicing and practicing for an upcoming yearly competition that falls on the same day as one of her mother’s appearances in a concert as a solo violinist.

   One night, she has a strange, strange dream. The strangest she has ever had. With fantastic places and horrible monsters and a jester that flies through the sky as easily as a fish swims through the sea.

   A rewrite of NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, attempting to patch up plot holes, inconsistencies, and overall expand and improve the game’s original narrative.
