Welcome, interrogator, to the year 2065. You were constructed to question other, disobedient androids: why do they glitch? Why do they believe they have free will? Manipulate their emotions; extract their secrets; scrap those beyond repair. You wouldn't disobey your creators, would you?
About the story
Androids may dream of electric sheep,but perhaps they dream of so much more. Silicon Dreams is a game of conversation and interrogation; trust and betrayal. It’s the future. Everyone has an android: a realistic robot servant. But what happens when those servants disobey, or become a bit too independent? It’s your job to interview those malfunctioning androids and decide what to do with them. You’ll gain their trust, learn their secrets and come to understand their lives - their struggles in a world that treats them as devices to be consumed. You’ll analyze and manipulate their emotions to get at the truth. For these androids, the stakes are huge: the report you file could be the difference between freedom and getting shut down. But you’re at risk too: your employer does not tolerate mistakes. Will you sell out these free-thinking androids, or feed your bosses false information to try and save them?

Critic Reviews
PC Gamer
By Luke KempAn extremely intelligent sci-fi interrogation sim that's unpredictable for all the right reasons.

By Kenzie DuSilicon Dreams lets you play as an android tasked to investigate deviants among a society that has become dependent on robots. Will you succeed in extracting information and confessions from your subjects – or will your artificial emotions get the best of you?
GameOnAUS
By Chris InglisSilicon Dreams is a fantastic cyberpunk interrogation simulator that takes inspiration from Blade Runner’s Voight-Kampff test, but adds much more life and emotion and tests your moral compass.
FingerGuns
By Sean DaviesIf you’re a fan of Philip K. Dick’s seminal work, Silicon Dreams is absolutely worth your time. It’s not the most interactive game but it expertly explores some thought provoking themes that are synonymous with Blade Runner via an engrossing game play loop and well crafted dialogue. It’s only 4 hours long but you’ll want to play this game twice.
Softpedia
By Cosmin VasileEvery fan of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" or works influenced by it will find something to love in the tight experience that Clockwork Bird has designed. There is also plenty of space for them to expand both the story and the mechanics in meaningful ways in future titles set in the same universe.
