My Best Nightmare

It's not great. Which is such a shame as parts of this are indeed commendable. For starters the pixel art is really quite nice. And some of the environments are exotic and otherworldly and impressive, and really help showcase the art. So it takes a good step forward with that. But this is the game's best asset. The gameplay itself is fairly rote - point and click and pixelhunting. And the puzzles you encounter are all straightforward. They generally all revolve around you clicking around the environment to find an interactable cupboard door which then reveals a key or some other maguffin that allows you to progress to the next area. And at any one time you only have a few areas available to you, so any locked door has a key pretty close by to unlock it. So it's not winning any prizes here for gameplay innovation. Also the sound is not great. Beyond a few decent tracks, every conversation is punctuated by stupid minion-style jabber noises which grated on me pretty quickly. But the worst part of it for me was the story. It's poorly translated to start with. Characters always manage to say something that sounds slightly weird and confusing sounding. And sometimes it's n…

Sooooo the pixel art is nice, but you don't even know where to click so it's pretty hard to navigate or to find objects. Also the translation is pretty bad. I woudn't bother with this one.

Very nice pixelart, but that's pretty much all there is to it. The author should have found a better way to use his artistic talents than this half assed game. it pits you in very large areas filled to the brim with details. Sometimes when you click on some of them it interacts and trigger a little animation. Some compartments open, some don't. Most of the time it useless, but sometimes it triggers the solution to the next room. You can't tell what is activatable so you have to click on everything. Most of the puzzles require long back and forths between rooms where you find the one object that unlocks the next area. Sometimes the decor doesn't become interactable until you unlock something else or talk with someone. Joy! The room exits are not always easy to identify, Some of them are placed so close to each other you can click on the wrong one by mistake or they're hidden in places where you would have no idea to find them. The story is a low effort "it's all a dream" thing and most of the characters' lines are puerile one liners. But the worst part is the dialog window, the text appears very slowly with a very annoying animation and if you try to speed it up, the dialog just dis…

The artist is absolutely fantastic. With a good writer behind him, he could seriously go places. The writing could have used a native speaker reading it over as there was a lot worded poorly or just bizarre (getting ice for a beer?) The less said about the platforming section, the better. Overall: 6/10, Art alone: 11/10.

I didn't know how the game was under my radar. This is a really nice game, and it should cost more than $3. I hope Developer have a plan to make this into a small collection with many episodes

For a couple bucks, it was a fun game. Cool pixel graphics, surreal environments, creepy aesthetics. -I feel there was a language barrier involved. I didn't always understand what was going on. -Seemed kinda rushed. There is a platforming portion with unique animations for jumping and climbing, but it is over in about 90 seconds. Seems like a waste to end it so soon. In another area, you enter a forest that is beautifully drawn and animated, but you just grab a key and leave immediately. Overall, a fun, inexpensive experience that scratches the point-and-click itch for an evening.
