The art and game concept are amazing! The sound is also pretty good :) Love the fact that you added text above the head to guide the players.

I would consider adding character animations when moving (like wiggling the ghost tail) and rotation. The camera also becomes weird with some collisions and the text above the players head is not visible if we zoom in too much (we start a very close zoom).

But overall.. You did an amazing work, congrats! :)

Please consider checking our game, rating and giving a feedback!

I really like the cardboard style, the whole game is amazing, I just think It would have been better if the player rotated as he was moving as the movement feel a bit strange to me,

Probably the best puzzle game I tried 😁 Good job 👍

I also made a puzzle game about dreams, If you want to check it out it's a 2d platformer

I really liked the aesthetic of the game, the cardboard style 3D art and the general campgrounds vibe along with the calm music was really atmospheric! I was able to beat the game but it was a bit frustrating to figure out what to do because one of the key items I needed to use (the cereal) didn't display correctly at the bottom and this led me to stumbling around for a long time before I figured it out by reloading and reading what it said before picking it up. Outside of this, it's a pleasant game :)

The cardboard cutout style is super cool, never seen anything like it and it definitely adds to the illusion and makes you question what is real. For some reason I could not figure out how to rotate the camera view or have the character turn around it looks like it's supposed to in the screenshots. So therefore I was unable to get the spade out of the tree but I really enjoyed the whole atmosphere inside the game it felt like I was in a dream or something surreal.

You should be able to turn your camera by holding the middle mouse button down and moving the mouse at the same time. As for the spade, have you found something to blind the tree with yet? (like a flashlight, hint, hint)

Coolest graphical style I have seen yet today - Cardboard cut out made the environment so surreal

Hi, sorry for your troubles, you just need to extract the files from the Windows Build archive and run the executable file named “Dreams are not real.exe”
