Please feel free to give any feedback about the game here, ideas, suggestions, praise or critique, all comments are welcome.

Why does a three-year-old want dreams about a promotion? I think there should be age limits on some of these dreams. It would also improve if you had multiple descriptions for each dream, like if they get superhero powers you have several you could list. And some kind of victory condition would be nice.

Some great suggestions there, I definitely agree with the age comment haha, something I will be working on implementing in the desktop version I am planning.

And more dream variation makes sense too, I was already planning on more dream options, such as other phobias instead of just spiders, possibly having kind of a skill tree aspect where you could unlock spiders, wasps, birds, snakes etc... having multiple descriptions and outcomes for each option would definitely be a great addition on top of this.

And a victory condition I hadn't really considered, but also something I agree would definitely need implementing.

Thank you so much for trying the game and giving your time to post the suggestions :)

Great idea for a game - I love the concept!

Minor QOL suggestion: It would be great if I could switch the selected dream by clicking the associated label. This would make selection easier.

In general, a kind of skill system where you have to apply a nightmare X times to increase your power so that you can project more and more horrifying dreams would improve immersion instead of general fear points.

A win condition would be great but maybe its just about making a bit less linear. For that it could be also interesting to chain dreams. If a guy is afraid of heights and being chased it would be interesting to be able to apply first the chase and then falling of a cliff. This way you could even introduce combos that give more experience. This would maybe make it more interesting to "chase" the perfect combo of dreams. Otherwise especially in the beginning I just skip a lot of nights because I have not yet the right dream. With multiple fears it would be possible to fulfil at least a part of the persons fears and not just skip him.

some great suggestions here, already have the dream labels on my list.

but hadnt thought of the other two suggestions, i really love the chain dreams idea.
