What is Dreamscape: Pin Point Blank?
Dreamscape: Pin Point Blank is a realistic stealth/strategic 3rd person shooter. As in real life, stealth is a very good way to kill someone without being noticed. When stealth is not an option, you have to decide whether it's smarter to move silently or to move with force. The situation may also decide for you or your body my not be able to perform one or the other. Dreamscape will sport many unique features such as the Pin Point System, the Point Blank System, Sanity levels, and more.
What's the Pin Point System?
There is no health bar; the Pin Point System is about the realism of bullet hits and how they would affect your body. Your Sanity, Agility, Accuracy, Power, and Blood Count, as well as the types of maneuvers you can perform will be affected. The Pin Point System replaces the conventional "100"hp in the corner with true to life consequences.
Sanity: Losing sanity will make your kills more brutal but lose a lot and sometimes you will lose control of your character for a few seconds. Lose all your sanity and you will end up committing suicide.
Agility: How quickly you can perform moves and run, as well as, how stealthy you can be.
Accuracy: Your shooting accuracy.
Power: How strong your melee attacks are.
Blood Count: Loosing blood will cause your character to get light headed and dizzy, loosing too much blood will cause you to black out for a few seconds, but loose all your blood count and you die of blood loss.

Ok, How About the Point Blank System?
The Point Blank System was created to get rid of the frustrating times that plague most shooters when you are trying to kill someone that is right in front of you. When close enough to an enemy, simply press the Point Blank button to execute them. When closer you can also melee attack or grab enemies.
How does Melee and Grabbing work in Dreamscape?
When within melee distance, you can perform a melee attack. Melee consists of either beating someone down or taking them out silently when without a silencer. Some weapons aren't that silent, but you can always be silent with your bare hand, so stealth is always an option if you're healthy enough to do so. Certain weapons will kill faster than others, some will splatter blood around, and you may have to quickly clean it up if there are any people patrolling around. Otherwise, feel free to take tire irons to enemy's faces and break their bones.
What kind of Melee weapons are there?
Just a few of the Melee weapons included: Scissors, Box Cutter, Pipe, Tazer, Syringe, Screwdriver, Handcuffs, Pencil/Pen, Chair, Fire Axe, Lamps, Sledgehammer
Various Knives: Throwing, Combat Knife, Machete, Scalpel
How do I heal myself?
Both Bandages and Drugs will help you heal your pain. Bandages will heal specific bullet hits, and there will be a variety of drugs that can heal you good but can have side effects. Be careful with mixing drugs or overdosing.
Who do I play as in this Game and what's it about?
You play as Virgil "the Virgin" Coltreese, a former kingpin bodyguard who has gotten soft after escaping the east coast crime life many years ago and now lives out in the west coast. But your brother Leo has stirred up trouble in a local lowly gang run by the Kardovas. Your brother claims it's not his fault, but soon you find your head getting smacked by a metal bat, and dragged to a warehouse to be set as bait and punishment for Leo. Upon waking you find a cigarette being put out on your face, accompanied by a grimacing smile. You find yourself in the presence of Angelo Kardova, the 17 year old son of Apollo Kardova, the Kingpin. Angelo, who acts a tad psychotic but is rather intelligent, looms over you, mocking you and asking about your brother. Soon, he starts to talk to a figure in the dark, the burning embers of his cigarette floating in the air. You recognize his voice: it's a colleague from the east coast, Job Fisk. You bargain with Job to try to have him vouch for you, but Job still seems a tad bitter.
Along the story, you'll run find yourself in the company of a whore with a blood fetish, a Russian who sells girls as sex slaves over seas, a deafened drug dealer with a vendetta and a whole other sort of colorful characters that grit and grime can provide.
Just to make it clear, this game isn't about just doing mission after mission for the crime ring until something happens. The story is constantly evolving, and everything has a point.
Where does it take place?
This game is set in the city and streets of San Diego, California.
This game is ultra-realistic: it is going to be really hard isn't it?
That hardest setting of the game will be the setting that is going to be true to life as possible. The easier setting will be similar, but will be adjusted for those of you that don't want it so real.
Is this game single player and/or multiplayer?
This game will be a single-player, and maybe if there is a big enough response after its release, maybe we'll add an MP, but it would be a large undertaking.
When you say "realistic" how realistic do you mean?
We mean true to life, to the most brutalizing of degrees. So jabbing people with knives will get blood everywhere, and taking shots into people's eyes is possible. If it can happen in real life, it is most certainly can be in the game. Also, expect sexual content, as well as nudity.
You talked about the melee weapons, how about guns?
Pistols: Old favorites like the Beretta and the Desert Eagle are included, as well as some fresh faces; like the Baby Eagle, Yarygin PYa "Grach", MP412 "Rex", and my personal favorite the 27 round OTs-33 Pernach Automatic Pistol and many more.
SMGs: SMGs include the usual guns like the MP5A1, Ingram Mac11, Mini Uzi, as well as the stylish Beretta M12S, AEK-919 K, and PP-19 Bizon.
Shotguns: The Sawn-off shotgun, the Berretta 1201F Semi-Auto Shotgun, and the TOZ-194 Pump Action
Assault Rifles: The AKS-74U and the FN SCAR-H, are more portable Assault rifles, better suited to the streets and easier to conceal.
