[i]Emerald Dreams: Sanity-Platformer Quest[/i] is a platformer adventure where you solve puzzles and combat foes to defeat the evil settling over your realm. [h3]The Story[/h3] In the heart of the lands of Feirirun lies the small village of Faith. Life if Faith usually is peaceful and serene but recently unrest has plagued the residents. A veil of evil has settled over the land and the shadows are gathering. [h3]Gameplay & Features[/h3] Setting options include language selection and audio controls. The game is controlled through keyboard and mouse (no controller support). In this game you can jump, dash and crouch your way around by using the wasd keys. It is a nice little rpg adventure. You talk to the residents, pick up quests and find loot. You have an inventory but for now the items have no descriptions and if you drop something you [i]cannot[/i] pick it back up. The game does not allow you to change your display settings so if your on widescreen like myself and If you wish to put your game into windowed mode, put [i]-screen-width 1920 -screen-height 1080[/i] (or a resolution of your choice) under properties in the games Steam library page under launch options and rel…

i tried my best giving the game a chance but it has too many issues and im unsure if the game is abandoned since it came out back in august of 2024 but the issues im experiencing is actually making the game unplayable. im not sure what the camps showing up as you progress is for, at first i assumed it was save points but the game restarts when you die. landing in toxic lakes gives poison damage but its a guaranteed death you cant really do anything about. I noticed i have a slingshot and the game mentions a aiming mechanic but i can for the life of me just figure out how to equip it. The UI is a bit messy since the text breaks off at weird points. Also after the first quest you are meant to break coapweebs, but you can end up breaking them before the quest, softlocking yourself and you have to reset. Also since death resets the whole game, having points with unavoidable damage like enemies being able to attack you while climbing whines to where they are is a pretty big problem. Oh yeah when you get your first quest it gives you a item, but it doesnt have a texture and its name is not found, if you look into your journal it mentions something that might be that object but its …

"Emerald Dreams: Sanity - Platformer Quest" is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. At face value this is a boring 3D rendered 2D action/puzzle platformer with a fantasy/magic theme, intended to be a bit of a Metroidvania/Hollow Knight ripoff, but the developers couldn't be bothered finishing it. But what's more interesting, at least to me, is the way the developer paid the Russian review farm uncovered by Sentinels of the Store for fake reviews (a deliberate and unethical act of review manipulation, indeed, this game will be banned from Steam whenever Valve gets around to enforcing their rules and US law). Considering there's no up front price, why pay for fake reviews? Of course.. the developer did intend to make this a paid product by locking and paywalling content behind DLCs... yeah, so often what appears to be "Free", isn't really. Of course, given the developer couldn't get organic, genuine positive reviews and had to pay Russ…
