It always pains me to write a negative review for an indie game, especially a solo dev project. But this one is just BAD. We've got a good comparison - Millenium Dream by LucidDreamLab which has basically the same Chinese liminal nostalgia vibe but everything in it is made on a high level and I'm saying that knowing it used AI too (as someone who's a 100% hater of AI in art) yet I still gave that game a positive review. But Strange Dream is just poorly made. Why do you use AI at all and so much of it? If you're trying to make players feel liminality with that real sense of unease and eerie vibe - how am I supposed to feel any of that when everything was clearly just dumped into some AI model generator or just photographed on a phone and put in AI app and called it a day? Wtf lol. Objects scattered around with zero logic. Added mini-games? Cool... but where are the mechanics? Why am I getting scraps of scraps with each level? And talking about game testing.. holes are everywhere and you can easily fall through and it's obviously not that "haha you noclipped out of reality, it's the backrooms" kind of intentional, NO - it's just a bad game. Animals have no animations, they're just pr…

i just played for a little but that amount of time was enough to show that this was a bad game. most assets in the game are AI generated, graphics and game design are lazy, and the game is just unpolished. do not buy this game. its just a mess. go play millennium dream instead.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
