Dreamscape (2015)

The dream jumping thing is cool, but some of the game mechanics just suck. There is a lot of trial and error when you discover something new, like say an item. Why? Your character is a glutton who eats everything off the ground. Find bread for the first time, this heals people, *down the hatch!* you weren't missing hp and now you know what the item does...this happens every new food item and you cannot store them. Got poisoned for the first time, "cherries cure poison" or walk back to the beginning and get healed (which "if you complete a mode without using the healing goddess!"). So my understanding is to hope you have enough HP to not die getting to one of your options. Option A is limited, and you likely wasted one to learn what it is, and option B punishes you. Then another trial and error was I got a warning...then died when I ignored it...instantly, when a game does that even once....it is save scum o'clock. I remember a sheep telling me not to go north due to a type of monster, but based on what he said, that is not what killed me, nor did it hint at instant death if it was. Also, I am tired of walking, so far nothing is driving me to continue.

Great little explaration rpg game.

Game has a great concept, but lacks a few things that would make it more enjoyable. The main ones being lack of maps (though you can buy a map DLC?) and the amount of backtracking (no fast travel). One of the primary characters is a cat so that's a plus. Buy if its super discounted. 2.5/5

the cat alone makes the game worth it, athena is goated

why do i keep buying these crummy RPGs?
