About DreamWatcher

This Game Requires A Controller.


The Great Library of Dreams is in BIG trouble. When a librarian in training attempts to make his job a little easier he unsuspectingly unleashes chaos from dastardly dreams and nefarious nightmares.
You are The Agent, a cunning and agile hero from The Collective, an organization dedicated to maintaining order among dreams. You are the library’s only hope!
  • A 3D Metroidvania where secrets lie around every corner.
  • Manipulate your surroundings using the powerful Sleeper Rod.
  • Unlock mysterious new abilities that allow for fantastic forms of traversal.
  • Rescue hidden librarians and discover the secrets of this timeless institution.
This original product was entirely developed remotely by about 30 students of the 2020 graduates of Campus ADN, a public video game college in downtown Montreal, as their finishing school project under the lead of industry professionnals.

✦ AI summary

Players praise DreamWatcher as an impressively polished platformer with a captivating dream-like atmosphere, intuitive controls, excellent music, and engaging puzzles that feel integral to the experience rather than forced obstacles. The game resonates strongly with players for its unique visual style, creative level design, and the fact that it offers substantial quality completely free, though some note minor jankiness and backtracking requirements don't detract from the overall experience.

I am a 55 year old biker and trucker father, and probably one of the oldest people playing this game. I am a single father to my Son, who is 15 now. My son got this game for from his uncle, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 12 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching YouTube. So i decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I could maybe play alongside him. I loaded into the game and started playing but I was stuck on what you where supposed to do. I asked my Son for help and he let me borrow his controller. Me and my son then played in turns and I loved it as it was the best time I had spent with my Son since my wife had died. This game has ever since brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house together as well. This game reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything, and it has brought both me and my son many happy memories.

genuinely such an ugly game with janky controls and such boring "puzzles." No graphics setting either. Clearly just asset flop slop

Игра DreamWatcher – это настоящее погружение в мир снов, где реальность переплетается с фантазиями. С первых минут она затягивает своей уникальной атмосферой и завораживающим визуальным стилем. Каждый уровень – это новое, неизведанное пространство, наполненное загадками и сюрреалистичными образами. Управление персонажем интуитивно понятное, но вместе с тем позволяет совершать по-настоящему грациозные движения, будто танцуя сквозь сновидения. Головоломки в DreamWatcher заставляют пошевелить мозгами, они оригинальны и прекрасно вписаны в нарратив, не ощущаясь как искусственное препятствие. Музыкальное сопровождение – это отдельная песня, оно идеально дополняет происходящее на экране, усиливая чувство погружения и эмоциональный отклик. История, хоть и подается местами неспешно, постепенно раскрывает свои глубины, заставляя задуматься о природе сознания и воспоминаний. Это не просто игра, а настоящее произведение искусства, способное подарить незабываемые впечатления.

I loved this game b/c it's like a mix of Zelda and platformer in a huge library. You have to do some backtracking and it's janky but it's amazing for a totally free game.
