Dreamland

Bir grup genç, gizemli sembolleri neden gördüklerini bulmaya karar verir. Gizemi çözdükçe, rüyalarda görülenlerden ayırt edilemeyen başka dünyalarda seyahat ederler. İnsan bunun onlar için bir kabusa dönüşmemesini umabilir...

Прикольная визуальная новелла. Проходится довольно быстро, но оставляет после себя теплые и приятные ощущения :)

Прикольная, на 2-3 вечера. Из минусов могу выделить, только недосказанность истории.

Dreamland is a really strange little adventure, and I liked how quickly it pulled me into its dreamlike world. I follow Alexey, an ordinary worker whose life starts becoming increasingly unusual after he begins seeing mysterious symbols. From there, the story sends him and a group of young people into other dimensions where reality and dreams start blending together. I enjoyed the feeling of never being completely sure what I was going to encounter next. The gameplay is mainly built around visual novel style storytelling, exploration and puzzles. I move through different scenes, interact with characters and work through situations that can involve both puzzles and interpersonal conflicts. I liked that the choices I make are important to how the story develops, because it gives me a reason to think about my decisions instead of simply clicking through dialogue. The characters are another part I enjoyed. Dreamland has a colorful cast with their own personalities and stories, and the strange situations they find themselves in make the conversations more interesting. I especially liked the contrast between the ordinary beginnings of the story and the bizarre places the group eventually reaches. It gives the adventure a nice sense of escalation without immediately explaining everything. The presentation is probably my favorite part of the game. Bright colors and bizarre shapes are mixed with dark shadows and unsettling silhouettes, which gives the dream world a really distinctive appearance. The music also helps create the atmosphere, with mysterious sounds and more natural elements making the different locations feel strangely peaceful and unsettling at the same time. My biggest issue is that the gameplay can feel fairly limited when compared with the ambition of the story. A lot of my time is spent reading and moving through scenes, while the puzzle elements are not always deep enough to keep me challenged for long. The visual presentation is also somewhat inconsistent, with some imagery looking more polished than other parts. The developers openly note that artificial intelligence was used for some of the non realistic images, characters and backgrounds, and I think that can be noticeable at times. Even so, I think the strange atmosphere carries the experience surprisingly well. I liked how the game can move from colorful and almost cute scenes into much darker material without completely losing its identity. The mixture of psychological ideas, mystery, fantasy and occasional dark humor gives it a personality that makes it more interesting than a straightforward visual novel. Overall, Dreamland is a quirky and atmospheric adventure that I enjoyed mainly for its dreamlike world, unusual characters and branching choices. It is not the deepest puzzle game and some of the presentation feels uneven, but there is a genuine sense of creativity behind it. I liked exploring the different dimensions and seeing how the story changes depending on what I decide, and for a free game I think it offers a surprisingly interesting little journey. Rating: 6.3/10
