About Daydream

✦ AI summary

Daydream is a classic 90s-style JRPG where young heroes investigate their captain's disappearance only to uncover a disturbing truth about their own existence and past. Built from scratch with full voice acting, challenging boss fights, and deep character customization through creature summons and ability systems, it delivers an emotionally charged story with an ending designed to leave you questioning everything.

Imagine you're a kid back in the 90s. You woke up early because you're excited you're going to play your favorite JRPG!

Daydream is all you would expect from the JRPGs of yore, plus voice acting and original music to give life to the story and characters.

When their captain goes missing, our young heroes decide to embark on a journey that will lead them to discover the chilling truth about themselves, their unresolved past and uncertain future.
Expect an unexpected ending that will throw you head over heels into an existential crisis.

I've been working on this game for more than 10 years now. I'm proud to finally release it into the world, so you can get to know the characters that have been with me for such a long time.

-10 to 20 hours of gameplay
-Unique abilities that allow for creative strategies and play styles, especially in late game
-Challenging boss fights and optional uber boss fights that will require everything at your disposal to conquer
-"Materia" system for character customization
-Creature summons that get more powerful the more you unlock abilities and get good at timing your button presses (similar to Legend of Dragoon)
-Full voice acting during cutscenes
-Amazing original music!
-NOT yet another RPGMaker game, this was made from scratch using Unity and Tiled

✦ AI summary

Daydream is praised by most players for its engaging story, challenging boss fights, creative combat system, and nostalgic old-school RPG design that appeals to genre fans. The main complaints center on outdated design choices like random encounters and individual party member experience grinding, though some players find these issues minor enough not to detract from the experience. Players generally feel it's worth picking up, particularly for those who enjoy classic RPG mechanics and are willing to accept some demanding difficulty spikes.

Its a hidden gem ! Try this game the story is really good and the boss fights is worth your time because they are very chalenging. The only negative that i can find is that the exp is not party based and you have to farm for each of the party members individualy. Its a solid 8/10 game its worth the money and your time !

I enjoyed this game. It's quick to complete, around 10 or so hours. It's really inspired by the oldies and will give a quick fix for that kind of game. Hovewer, it has some old design that I personnally don't enjoy as much (but maybe others do). It has random encounters and there is no xp for benched party members. Still a fun game.

Daydream is definitely a game worth picking up, whether you're a veteran gamer or a newcomer. Daydream has a sheer amount of creativity in it, with an entertaining driven story, clever combat strategies to choose from, large map areas to explore, hidden treasure to find, and endearing characters to follow through their adventures. I had an excellent time playing Daydream, and I hope more people will get a chance to play! So what are you waiting for, set out on a grand adventure, because Daydream is a game you just can’t miss out on! :)

Well, I've tried to like this game... Not happening... This game is broken, right at the beginning... When a game get you stuck half an hour right at the beginning because you don't have "cat-like" superhuman reflexes, and are not able to complete the tutorial... Well that's a problem... At least include a way to get around this joke of a fight move, where you need to be able to strike a key in a 10 ms window... Forget about "Emblem", this is a waste of your time...
