About Dreamscapes: Nightmare's Heir - Premium Edition
Laura doesn’t suffer from nightmares anymore. But, despite the fact that it has been 2 years since she came out of the coma, she is haunted by the promise of Sandman to take revenge. Laura and Tim go to ski resort hoping to distract Laura from heavy thoughts.
There, on the edge of the world, misfortune befalls her. Tim goes out of the house in a fit of lunacy and falls off the cliff. He did not die, but is in a coma. It is not hard to guess that the fall off the cliff and coma are caused by intrigues of the Sandman.
It would seem what might be easier for Laura, having the absolute Power, to awaken her husband? However, being received the Power, Laura has made a commitment not to use the Power for her own benefit. This means that she can’t help Tim to wake up. And she has 2 choices: watch how her beloved slowly dies in the hospital, or have recourse to the help of an old friend again who once helped her when she was in a coma.
When Laura met an old friend (the player), she stops the time to pass by the doctors unchecked and infiltrate in Tim’s ward, and then she immerses the player into the subconscious of Tim, whose body is almost seized by the Sandman.
The Sandman operates under the old scheme: by sending nightmares, he suppresses the will of the victim to resist.
Will the player have time to wake up Tim before the Sandman turns him into his heir?

Sometimes the areas where you need to place items to progress are too small. You have the right idea, you choose the correct item, but the game doesn’t recognize it. You start thinking you did something wrong, so you go somewhere else and try other things—only to come back and realize the hitbox was too small, and you had clicked just a millimeter off. Sounds and music often don’t fade out properly during cutscenes. The first Dreamscape game was better. With a bit more effort, this one could be great too.
It is a perfectly fine hidden objects game, I got my time out of it. But I bought it in a bundle of other games, I don't think it is worth the full price tag; which is why I am not recommending it. (Someone also pointed out it may be a big fish game or something, and this edition just has an ending you don't get in the other version)
Some of the critiques I had about the previous game are fixed in this one. The writing (mostly in terms of grammar and sentence structure) is better, and so is the voice acting for the most part. However, I'm still not sold on the Sandman's voice acting. He sounds like he's just reading his words without emotion, and not in a way that sounds scary. However, he does do a few evil laughs that are not bad. Another big complaint I have with this game is that both the main game and the bonus episode feel a lot shorter than the ones in the first game. This wouldn't be so bad if the endings weren't so unsatisfying. You see, this series has four endings: The main game and bonus game in the first entry, and the main and bonus games in the second. In all four endings. [spoiler]the Sandman doesn't face any real punishment or defeat. The heroes just kind of get away from him, and then the game ends abruptly. Since he is supernatural, maybe you could say that he is immortal and can't be killed, but there should at least be a way for the heroes to seal him away or otherwise prevent him from doing further evil, even if he finds a way to escape it. Laura is said to have this great power, but even…
