This game has been published in 2014 yet it is still very enjoyable. I liked the artwork despite being dated, the details and colors are outstanding. The story is about Laura, a young girl who's been having nightmares, one day her father brought her a dreamcatcher and all the bad dreams disappeared. When she got older, someone stole the ornament and that caused her to fall into a coma. You play as a volunteer who'll walk into her dreams and find what is disturbing her.

This game doesn't have Hidden Objects scenes, it is considered an adventure Point and Click. The music fits the atmosphere and artwork nicely, although it cuts off when you play puzzles and go back to the areas, but it wasn't too annoying. I liked the collectibles, there is an indication on the left side of the screen showing you how many are left in the area to collect them.

The journal has some good information about the Lura and some hints for some puzzles, You'll have to collect the journal pages to learn more about the story. The hinting system is very smart, there are two ways to use it, the first one is to show you where to go or what you should do next, and the other unique method is by dragging the item you don't know how to use to the hint button, a small rotating puzzle will pop up to you and once you solve it, you'll see how the item is being used and where exactly.

There are a variety of puzzles and some of them are not easy to solve. Unfortunately, there is no map, and the last section of the game requires going back a forth through a very slow elevator.

Pros:
+Beautiful graphics.
+Useful journal.
+Interesting story.
+Good soundtracks.
+Unique hinting system for objects.
+Varieties of puzzles.
+Collectibles.

Cons:
-No map.
-Weak voice-overs.
-No steam achievements.

The bonus chapter was OK, it built up for the next game which I'm looking forward to playing. Highly recommended to people who enjoy classics and adventure.

Both have their charms, old and new, I wasn't a gamer when these came out so it's all new to me :)

I actually prefer the classics more than the new games we have nowadays. ❤️

This was one of my favorite games when it came out, but there have been so many advancements in the genre that I don't think it would feel as awesome today as it did back then.
