Hello, Travelers!
We hope you’re enjoying your journey through the dream.
It’s hard to believe, but it’s already been nearly a year since Shape of Dreams first began exploring the dream world together with all of you.
Over the past year, countless Travelers from around the world have ventured through the Rapids, surprising even our development team with builds and playstyles more creative—and sometimes more outrageous—than anything we could have imagined.
With our first anniversary just around the corner, we thought this would be the perfect time to look back at the incredible journey you’ve created together!
While putting together this infographic, we had a few moments where members of the development team asked, “For real?” and went back to double-check the logs.
Add up all the time you’ve spent on your journeys, and it comes to a staggering 388 years, 114 days, 6 hours, and 23 minutes. In that time, you’ve defeated an incredible 951,010,652 monsters. That works out to roughly 730 monsters per Traveler.
And over those countless years, poor Belphomet was defeated a whopping 37,119,217 times. The development team would like to extend our deepest sympathies to this unfortunate boss.
You embarked on 17,102,733 co-op runs and revived your teammates 30,127,767 times.
In other words, someone went down nearly twice per co-op run on average—and yet, time and time again, you picked each other back up and kept moving forward, proving just how strong the bonds between fellow Travelers can be.
(Or maybe you were just playing with a certain Lucid Dream active.)
When it came to Travelers, Mist proudly took the #1 spot, with Lacerta and Bismuth close behind as some of your most trusted companions. Mist was also the most popular partner in co-op, taking the top spot both solo and alongside fellow Travelers.
And when it came to fashion, Canary Bismuth, Guide of Souls Yubar, Pyromaniac Lacerta, and Valiant Warrior Mist were your most-loved looks, in that order.
The overall clear rate was 16.7%—roughly one successful journey out of every six. Reaching the end of the dream was certainly no easy feat.
And then there’s Limbo 6, with a clear rate of just 0.077%. Only 0.077% of Travelers managed to conquer the highest level of Limbo.
To the true “Masters of the Dream” who overcame this brutal challenge: you have our utmost respect!
Behind all the enormous numbers in this infographic are countless close calls, thrilling victories, and unforgettable moments that each of you experienced along the way.
Maybe it was the run where you somehow survived with just 1 HP. Maybe it was the absurdly powerful build that came together completely by accident. Or maybe it was the moment you and your friend went down at exactly the same time and could do nothing but laugh.
What stands out most when you look back on your journey?
Whether it’s the number in the infographic that surprised you most, an epic story of your own, or simply a moment you’ll never forget, we’d love to hear about it. Share your stories with us in the comments!
As we look back on the journey we’ve shared over the past year, we want to thank every Traveler who has been a part of it.
We know many of you have been patiently waiting to hear what comes next, and we’re truly grateful for your patience and understanding. We’re working hard behind the scenes and preparing to share more with you as soon as it’s ready.
Thank you for an incredible year of dreams, adventures, and memories. We’re excited to see where the journey takes us next, and we hope Shape of Dreams will continue to be part of many more adventures with you.
Thank you,
