The Dreams in the Peacock House

Dreams in the Peacock House is a very short (<1 hour), surreal journey. Puzzles are simple but the narrative and visuals are strong. it's strangely moody, at times funny, always reflective.

What an amazing game! Short but OH so sweet. It was beautiful, complex, spooky, and very replayable. I'll have to go back to find all of the hidden easter eggs. I can't wait to play more games by Harlequin Diver!

A somewhat introspective and deeply personal experience. Despite the surreal aesthetics, it covers much more real, personal and intimate topics. If you're into games like that, games that focus more on sharing the human experience, games that focus on being more experiential rather than 'fun' in the traditional sense, this game is for you. I look forward to seeing more from this developer!

Played this in one sitting, took exactly 1 hour but it felt a lot longer. Great little game that feels retro in all the good ways. Would have wished for some music or ambience during gameplay, got a bit quiet at some points. Other than that it's definitely worth a try if you're interested in getting a unique experience.

Pretty art!

I was looking for a game with more parser action, but this isn't that. it's more exploration of art and the medium of interactive fiction. Is it my favorite- no- but it was still enjoyable for the short run it offers. I look forward to more games by Harlequin Diver. I do hope the next one might be more focused on the text-based stuff, as I didn't enjoy the puzzles in the game, which felt placed in necessity as opposed to in love.
