About The Dew

"Dew Number 17, once missing, has returned. What truths lie beyond this bygone clash between black and white?"

The Dew is a puzzle game focused on storytelling. You will become a dewdrop—experience the past wars fought by black and white in puzzle form, and uncover the neglected truth.

In a simplistic environment controlled by only the arrow keys, new rules will come into play as the levels pass by, presenting new challenges and requiring the player to apply both old and new tactics. Can you, as a new drop of dew, solve every puzzle and discover the truth?

[b][i]The Dew[/i][/b] is a short puzzle game based on a simple premise. It seems easy enough at first but as you progress more and more through the levels it can get fairly challenging. Just some solid puzzle gameplay which I enjoyed quite a lot. Unfortunately the associated story isn't delivered fantastically as the English translation is quite rough. I still liked it despite that (admittedly major) shortcoming, but your mileage may vary. I find it a bit sad that it has so few steam reviews... if you are a fan of minimalist puzzles, give it a try. I think you won't be disappointed.

The Dew is yet another of several hundred minimalist pathing puzzle games that's somehow here on Steam instead of locked onto the app stores where this kind of shallow game belongs. This one has you moving a "dew" drop around a minimalist 2D ISO grid to block a "conflict" between white blobs and black blobs... it's basic turn based movement puzzle/pathing stuff that's been done a million times since Sokoban and other flash games showed up in the 1990's. A brand new one in this century is doing little to advance the state of the art for video games. There's also a badly written E-book sandwiched between levels as pages of poorly written text get thrown at you between levels. This does not make e-books or bad games better. This game has been translated from some other language into English... badly. If this was done through Google Translate, Google Translate should feel ashamed of itself. Regardless, the language in this game is broken and will put off a lot of gamers. There's an overwhelming amount of mediocre Visual Novel/E-book style cutscenes in this game. So you'll spend a huge amount of time not playing the game, but clicking through endless lines of poorly written VN…

Going into this I expected a lot less than I wound up getting. I expected something really boring, I got this in a bundle that currently doesn't have the best track record, and has some items I can't play since I don't speak Korean. This one though, it had a lot more charm and heart than the others I've played thus far. It's a bit tricky at points, it has nice music, and an endearing story. I recommend it if you like puzzle games, I'd give it a solid 8/10.

A pretty simple game, but honestly it just kind of lost my attention rather quickly. It does seem like it would be a fun game for someone who enjoys basic puzzle games and relaxing soundtrack though. 6/10

All the dialogue is a drag and wastes game time with stupid story telling. They really should eliminate this tedious dialogue. Other than that A-OK.
