About !Dream
!Dream is not quite a game — more an interactive short film or experimental art piece you can walk through.A ten-minute experience about guilt, memory, and the flickering line between sleep and waking.You play a soldier, but the real war happens elsewhere — in the loops of thought, in the quiet, in what refuses to fade.Created as an experiment in narrative and atmosphere.
No missions. No scores. Just a dream you can’t quite leave.

I liked this. I really, really liked this, especially as someone who enjoys history and war and yet still knows the damage it causes for the victims of it. It's short but the atmosphere is really well done, the music helps it too. It's tense in a way that quiets you, sometimes makes you expect that a jumpscare is coming, but this game doesn't do that. It holds its word, providing exactly what it says it would: gives insight on the thoughts of a soldier, a victim of war and orders. It's honestly great, paces itself really well for what it is, letting moments linger where they're supposed to to create that tension. It's simple but efficient. The graphics aren't anything to write home about, neither is the lighting in the main scene with the soldier in the ruins, but it works, does its job in a way that doesnt pull away even if they're not realistic. I am unsure if it was made with AI, the script that is, given the em-dashes that you can find in the narration script but it is voice acted by a real person, who I must say, does a good job. Its emotional, gives the thought you're listening to an actual, young guy who's stuck in the war, as most soldiers were. Even without a lot …3 found this helpful
!Dream is fire i was scrolling steam for something to do and then found it the story it tells was so deep with only 10 minutes to tell it2 found this helpful
i liked the angles. [spoiler] shows the stupidity of wars, which should be avoided at all cost. imho. diplomacy , referenda's should be prioritised always [/spoiler]1 found this helpful
It's alright, a short little interactive film, has some pacing and player experience issues1 found this helpful
I enjoyed the story behind the game but I do wish it had voice acting. I think with the right voice actor the story could hit a lot harder. I run a team of over 450 voice actors. I hope that the dev reaches out. I think it could really make it a lot better. This game is already really good. It is short? Yes. Could it be longer? Yes. Does it need to be? No. This is a solid game to play and get the feeling of the soldier.1 found this helpful
9/10 Everything I hoped it would be. I first found this before it had even released, and made sure to put it on my wish list for when it did. The game isn't so much as a game as an interactive film. The graphics are honestly better than I could have ever expected. My favorite part was the narration, and while that was most certainly the main aspect of the game, it was incredibly poetic. It is exactly as it was advertised. The color changing light was a great accessibility feature as well. Go ahead and give the game a go, after all, it is only about 10-15 minutes. Keep in mind there the game starts immediately upon launch and there is no menus, and the game has to be closed externally or through the steam exit option.
