Character profile

Meet Kairo

The Last Dream Wanderer. A small, poised Veyling who walks through forgotten dreams and broken timelines.

Name: Kairo
Title: The Last Dream Wanderer
Species: Veyling: a being born between two moments in time
Profession: Dream Wanderer and Keeper of Lost Memories
Appearance: Flowing midnight-blue cloak, a hood with a star-shaped tip, large golden eyes, uneven translucent cyan-and-violet ears, and a brass lantern holding a clock with no hands.
Personality: Curious
Brave
Playful under pressure
Stubborn
Observant
Secretly afraid of being forgotten
Goal: Find out why tomorrow keeps resetting, and let time move forward without destroying the worlds caught in it.
Weakness: Every reset erases memories, so it is hard to tell a new discovery from one made before.
Signature lantern: A brass lantern with a handless clock. It ticks backward and shows messages from other versions of Kairo.
Shadow anomaly: Kairo's shadow sometimes moves one second before Kairo does.
Tagline: “Yesterday left me a warning. Tomorrow left me a trap.”

Playground

The Dream Lab

A 3D Kairo, a lullaby music box, a flashlight for the dark, a game, and a chance to talk to Kairo.

Live Kairo

She watches your cursor (or your finger). Move around her, hold still, get close to her face, then try tapping her ears, her hood star, her lantern, or her cheeks three times.

Her mood

Her eyes, head, ears and cloak each follow you differently.
Stay still and she wanders and blinks on her own.
Come very close to her face and she is startled.
Stay on her a moment and she smiles.
Switch Night or Twilight in the header and her mood follows.

Kairo feels curious.

Experimental 3D view

Drag (or swipe) to turn her. Pinch with two fingers, or press + and −, to zoom. Arrow keys also rotate. It is drawn live with WebGL.

Lullaby Lab

A music box made live in your browser with the Web Audio API. No audio files. Press the keys (or A S D F G H J K on a keyboard). Use the switch to mute at any time.

Music box tone

Flashlight in the dark dreams

Move your mouse or drag your finger across the dark. Dreams that nobody wrote down appear only where your light falls.

Dreams found: 0 of 8

Catch the falling dreams

Slide the lantern with your mouse, finger or the left/right arrow keys. Catch golden dreams. Do not catch the dark ones.
