About The Orphan Dreams

The Orphan Dreams is a permadeath adventure game combined with RPG elements. The game starts at an orphanage and the player takes control of an orphan child.

Step into the universe of The Orphan, who in his dream finds a letter from his own mother he has never seen before. While he takes his time to discover the truth about his family, he’s also about to find out the dark secrets of the orphanage.

Features:


  • Old-school style gaming rules: No checkpoints, no retries, no mercy
  • Hand-drawn graphics in 2.5D perspective, allowing both simple controls and a sense of depth
  • 2 full chapters, consisting of diverse levels of both the real and the dream world
  • A combination of two gameplay mechanics: Fight with monsters and loot chests filled with random items in the dreams world; eat, sleep and explore the orphanage in the real world
  • Quick time events and various puzzles with time limits
  • Hidden areas and bosses
  • Multiple endings: Only the true ending will let you play Chapter 2
  • An unlockable High-Score Mode

    Disclaimer:



    Despite it's cartoony graphics and childish looks, The Orphan Dreams contains some scenes with violence and gore. This game is not a suitable gift for kids!

This one has me stumped for what to say about it. It is just ... weird? You are basically a kid in an orphanage and you pretty much just walk forward, occasionally kill stuff, do some match 2 puzzles and collect some food and notes. It works and runs fine, it is just not good from the group up. Works fine on Linux with Proton (7.0.6).

Ok, I've taken a while to finish the game, but I can say it was a nice experience. Pros: - Great graphics, I really love the art style - Nice soundtrack and sound effects - Interesting story and the playable character is very cute - Rogue-lite style, so not being able to save is not a big deal (each chapter is very short and easy - I only failed once) Cons: - Memory puzzle gets repetitive, as it is overused. - Clicking bubbles in a time limit is very annoying - You unlock chapter 2 only if you get the true ending, and the game forgets you unlocked it after you leave the game (had to replay the game because I had to leave before finishing the game). - Chapter 2 does not end the game, so this game is incomplete Conclusion: I got this 75?% off, so it was a good deal. I only recommend the game if you get it on a very good sale.

You're an orphan. You're confused and lost in strange dreams, waking up to missing friends and unsure of what is going on around you. Prepare to escape. Many times. All in all, this game was actually pretty fun. I enjoyed the twists in it and I can honestly say I wish there was more to the story! What does my dad surprise me with?! AHHHH! If you want a simple, quick play game with silly art, interesting puzzles and just a simple yet decent time spent, this is it.
