So, you may have seen this game if you're a member of ROM Hacking.net, SMW Central or Fusion Gameworks. But basically, it's a ROM hack where Mario gets captured in an alternate dream world by Antasma and has to fight to escape by conquering the various worlds and defeating the Nightmare King once and for all.
It comes in three parts, and part 1 is available in demo format (albeit it's kind of buggy).
Some pictures from NCFC:
As you can see, it has custom graphics, music, sprites, blocks, level gimmicks (like reverse gravity), overworld and even power ups like the Hammer Suit and Boomerang Flower! A (somewhat buggy) demo of part 1 can be downloaded either on the Nintendo Community Fangame Convention booth:
So yeah, thoughts on it so far? Later versions will include Fawful as a boss, as well as the likes of the Massif Bros, Popple and Kylie Koopa in cameo roles and Earthwake from Dream Team as a part 2 endgame type boss.

Since Antasma is the main villain there, will we see some custom ennemies based on him ?
Or surreal things that show you are in a world of dreams ?
Yes. However, because Antasma themed enemies didn't show up til Neo Bowser Castle in Dream Team, they probably won't show up til Antasma's Castle in this one. Which is basically part 3.
As for surreal stuff, yes to that as well. There are tons of surreal and 'unusual' gimmicks and ideas in this game. Some are fairly standard but weird (the toy themed levels in world 9 or so), some will be more abstract (like certain parts of the space theme world). Some are dark and overly morbid (like the level based on a Mushroom Kingdom town after a nuclear explosion, or the level where Mario gets killed and ends in hell, or where he ends up in what appear to be the ruins of the Mushroom Kingdom after a hundred years or something).
Thanks for the interesting questions.

Inception-like dream levels? As in a dream within a dream within a dream stuff and limbo etc?

Well, one of them.
The creepypasta esque level has Mario end up in a nightmare, which turns out to be a dream within a dream. I also plan to mimic some of the Antasma battle attacks in Dream Team, and one of those has Mario fall asleep:
I do hope for trippy backgrounds and music like those from Earthbound.
Antasma should really feel that he is not from this world.
You'll like part 3 then. He not only gets a whole game set pretty much in his HQ (with all kinds of weirdness as well), but a complex, interesting boss battle with multiple phases and a climactic defeat.
