[h1]The Game of The Play[/h1] When the player starts the game, they will enter a tutorial campaign. If they were to leave the campaign or close down the game, the next time they start, the player will get the campaign menu opening up. So the player is available to choose if they want to do the tutorial campaign at any time or if they want to try other campaigns. Under each campaign, there will be information on the maximum to least number of players that are required to play a session. As well as the campaign's difficulty. If you have the origin language equipped, then the starter cutscene that pops up before the campaign starts will be read out as the text shows up, but if you have selected English as your language, then there will be nothing…9 found this helpful
does not connect to servers anymore. game is dead, don't buy it The idea is interesting, the translation is awful, which is very funny but it's a game about ROLLING A DICE and DICE DOES NOT ROLL lol. I've tried doing a lot of default stuff you do when something doesn't work and nothing helped: I always get softlocked after every dice roll. A shame really, game looks very promising :(8 found this helpful

Being a fan of mansions of madness, I really wanted to play this game. This game just doesn't work for me. Each time I try to roll a dice (and you have to in this game), the dice does not roll and the game softlock. I have the music, I can interact with the menu and everything, but I can't see the result of the roll and therefore cannot close the test window, pass my turn or progress in the scenario. The problem I have is shared by at least 3 other people so it's not an isolated incident. I tried so many times, after each patch since I first bought the game in october or november. Considering the fact that no one acknowledged the problem for several months (I reported the bug in game, created a discussion in steam forum where the dev does not come, replied to several patch notes with questions about this bug) and that it's not isolated to me alone, I now reluctantly give a bad review to this game. This is a warning to potential buyers that you might get unlucky like me, and if you do, dev won't care unfortunately.2 found this helpful
"Dreamsketcher" offers a nice gameplay-idea: entering the nightmares of patients, combining isometric exploration with turn-based, card- and dice-mechanics. The combination seems a bit rough at first, but as soon as you get into it, it works fine. The graphics are a bit standard, not like a coherent art style, but you can identify what has to be identified. What confused me at first, was that the game always looks and feels like a multiplayer game, possibly it was meant for it, although I can play in singleplayer. It may be an indie project with some rough edges, but I liked the experience. Hint for newcomers: In case you despair watching the slow text windows, one letter per second, try to double-right-click, and the text unfolds completely. True time-saver ;) !1 found this helpful
