It focuses on Chroma's daily life socializing with her peers in university and her life in the Dreamlands she enters during sleep and how the latter influences the former.
It was remade in 2024 as RE:Chromamania on the Miragee System with additional content added.
Development
Chromamania was developed by Dotted Umbrella. Game development began in 1999 when the DreamStation 2000, the successor to the DreamStation game system was announced at that years E4 developer conference.
The idea for the game came when Jordan Orsin, had a high fever in the summer of 1998 and dreamed a series of vivid dreams that ended up the inspiration to the game's contents, especially the contents of the Dreamlands.
Story
The game begins with Chroma waking up and heading off to her university. There she meets her crush, Sonya. Chroma reflects on realizing she's a lesbian and how nervous she is around Sonya. After some lectures and a stop at the coffee shop she goes home to cook dinner and watch TV.
She falls asleep and seems to wake up in a different world, meeting a man with a TV as a head. His name is Teevo. He tells her that she is in the Dreamlands, a dream world that is tethered to her own. She goes through the world and meets a variety of characters before waking up.
The order of the characters met are dependent on game play decisions, however together they start telling a story of the world of the Dreamlands and the various characters and how they connect to her own world.
As she endures the Dreamlands she notices that she becomes less shy and manages to talk to Sonya and others around her.
