This game has really promising art, and the designs of the dreamscape and its interiors, strange characters and atmosphere are genuinely original and interesting to look at. For instance, there's the disorienting chromatic aberration, and windswept grass shows a lot of skill at creating a convincing parallax, shading and looks like there's sort of a wave distortion making it seem naturally swaying and rustling in the wind. The orchestral backing music - if original or not - adds some great brooding ambience too. I think it comes together to create something very alien and interesting to explore. The purpose of the dreamer's passage through this world and how to progress was a little obtuse, but did add to the feeling of exploring and not understanding the rules of a world that works very differently. Great work on this one!
Also, I would love a Teeth Sofa in my living room.
yeah, wow, that was something! Still not sure what's going, but my suspicion is dream demons or sleep paralysis? Interesting concept! The mechanics could use a little work. Indie games and early prototypes tend to always have very slow moving characters, and a lot of dialogue, just ends up getting pretty tedious quickly. I did like that I could play it in the browser! Points for that! And great job on the art, that's an area I'm pretty weak at.
Well done!
