Description

For you who don't have time anymore to play RPG,
dreeps is an "Alarm Playing Game ", a new type of game where the player just have to set an alarm to enjoy an RPG adventure. 

Before going to bed the player just have to set the alarm in dreeps, and the robot boy will sleep like him/her.

When the player will wake up with that alarm in the morning, as he/she'll go to work or to school, the robot boy with go on an adventure though fields, valleys or peninsulas where bosses are waiting for him in dungeons. New days are starting for the player and the robot boy to spend together !
In dreeps, the player will just have to set the alarm, that's all.
 The player can have a look at the adventure on the phone, put it on his/her desk while working, during snack time, just enjoy the game at his/her pace. If the player woke up with dreeps, the adventure will automatically continue as long as the robot boy has enough HP, even if the player doesn't open the app. Depending on which alarm the player will use, his/her sleep and waking time, and other factors, the adventure may alters. The player might be missing some events, but don't mind about it.
