Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow

Wow, this was a pretty good game! Bit challenging in places but otherwise I quite liked it. Imagine Little Nightmares and Trine had a baby, and it married It Takes Two, took away the co-op component and then added a bit of jank to the gameplay, just to remind you it isn’t really a big budget game. Biggest gripe is probably the lack of discernible shadows, which for a 2.5d and sometimes 3d game with platforms etc, you misjudge things. Visually appealing and although the story was a bit incoherent, having that npc with you all the time made it seem more cozy. Recommended, maybe pickup on sale though. I was gifted this, so not sure how much I’d pay for it.

nice relaxing game

This game is both beautiful and heart wrenching. Fun and great puzzles and the controls always worked great! Highly recommend for anyone that likes puzzles or platformers!

It was .. okay? But felt like a halfhearted amd flat story. I didn't at all get a feeling of what the story was about. Some of the things were fine, but i could have been without playing the game overall.
