This was a very meaningful experience. The point of being in a dream and trying to wake up was such a good story for such an amazing journey. The mood in each level was so different! Sometimes you'd have the hairs on your neck stand on end, and other times you're having just a fun time. If you were to ever make anything more like this, I would be very excited :)
hey...i need to find a game its like this but its over how the developers of the game didnt finish the game and how buggy it was also here on itch pls. it was like an adventure game
no but i think the cover had like the charackteres in the game on it, there was always a sign that was telling you the story how the developer team didnt have enough cash to finish the game and at the end you had to fight some sort of like boss in some body where you had to derstroy the glitch or however you wanna call it. it was not first person you saw the player from behind... thats all i know from now
I've played through this first game a few times now, you have made one of my favorite games :)) Every time I run through the game I find new things. I think I played this game at the right time in my life and just hit me in the feels. Thank you for making such an awesome game :D
THIS GAME IS A MASTERPIECE! i haven't beat it and already i can tell this is something special the game feels great the style is awesome and the story is really unique so far im really impressed with this one i like the places were seeing and im really exited to do the rest, definitely itchio game of the year!
if you want to see me play this here's the first episode more will be out in the next few days because im definitely beating this game!
Even here in 2023, this is a banger of a short dreaminality experience. I'm VERY much looking forward to playing Boundless Dreams. LOVED the soundtrack and I hope for more unique tracks.
I would say, for this style, I'd like to see a little more interactivity with the environment. Maybe some different dialogue up to 2-3 times when interacting with the same entity.
I VERY much enjoyed the dream explanations provided, thanks for sharing those as it put alot of the dreams into context but also allowed for a personal connection as I've had several dreams that are very similar. If not of content, then the feels. The atmosphere. VERY similar.
Aside from interactivity which in and of itself is nitpicky, I have nothing but good to say about this game. I'll be more thorough with Boundless Dreams, looking forward to doing a playthrough of that and enjoying the ride.
Thanks, I'm excited to play all the games you've developed :D
Very entertaining. Though it would have been nice to be able to move a bit faster in some of the levels. Either way, I loved the attention to the PS1 details. The final sequence was a good climax as well. Very spooky!
I'm glad you didn't delete this prototype, I always like playing older builds of games. I hope the full version was successful!
Played this game late 2021 mid pandemic, it was a crazy experience that lead to me discovering a whole world of media that I didn't know I was incredibly interested in. Fantastic game, extremely recommended
This game felt almost... Relaxing, i really don't know how to explain it. Throughout the game i was left trying to figure out what these worlds meant in their weird, surreal approach. This game really brightened up my day, Thanks!
Thank you for making this game. At first, I thought, "All I'm doing is walking from one place to another, talking to people and doing whatever they tell me," but by the end, I was immersed in this bleak and very linear story.
I look forward to the day when I play another one of your games.
Just checked this game out on stream and had a really good time. I think it really captured a dreamlike quality which lead to some spooky moments later on...
If you are interested in checking out my playing it starts at (32:06)
it was really cool :) i just love playing games with cool concepts, and even though i was aware there was no danger by the end, the tense atmosphere was pulled off well
Steps to reproduce: 1. Finish the game and unlock Hub+ 2. Go to school world 3. Find a snowball and go to snow world 4. Exit from snow world to dream hub. 5. Now Hub+ is gone :( You can't go to any other worlds. After restarting the game, nothing changes, still no Hub+.
Also - It would be nice if you could add save feature after every level like it was in the Boundless Dreams. I lost my progress once because of that...
It has some drawbacks, like: the jump height is too low, always have a feeling that you are goint to miss the platform, you can fall through a gap beetwen 2 touching platforms. Maybe those are old game callbacks.
The rabbit mentioned that the game was developed for about a month with 8 hours of each day spent. Whose bugs can be easily discovered when testing.
Do you know the feeling that you get from game made by the big company devs, who worked crazy 12 hours shifts? Brain stillness? Maybe it's just me, don't know.
Honestly i don't get the feeling of finding something magical, i just get the feeling of it being a game. You know the typical quest making you circle around the map, npc dialoges are just npc dialoges.
I can't just get rid of this feeling, i see the tricks. Perhaps those tricks were used to give it a vintage touch.
I want to explore the layers of dream, turn around the corner, see that out there, but i can't. It's not a conscious dream anymore. Why can't i ride a giant fish? It's really just a level with a skybox.
Virtual dreams are really boring compared to real dreams.
I really love this game! If you want to play a calm and relaxing game (even though it gets a little more horrory later in the game), then you need this game. The music is comforting, the graphics are beautiful, the characters are interesting, and the game actually makes you feel like you're in these dreams. It's amazing. The second dream level is my favorite! :DDD!

You NEED to be more specific than that, any idea of what the name could be?

Weird bug, when I connect dualshock 4 the camera breaks. It points straight up and the sticks only read movements on the x axis
Yeah it does that sometimes. Only solution I know of is to restart your machine with the controller connected. If that doesn't work it's just a bug
Very pleasant experience! Definitely made my afternoon significantly more memorable.
teehee <3
CUTE!
No Commentary Gameplay
Amazing job. Loved all of the dreams and their unique feel.
This game slapped my ass ! Really good job ! i will fastly buy your other Hypnagogia game when i got money !
love on you <3

i love this game sm, you can totally see all the effort put in !! very cool
crazy
How do I turn the wavy filter off for the levels with it on? It's making my head spin a bit...
One of my favorite games on Itch.io! Gotta say my favorite dream was defiantly "Finding the Figure". Keep up the Great work SodaRaptor!
This was a good one

This game was one of the most interesting things I have played in a while. It really felt as if in a dream. Great work!

Hi! Great game! :)
Although I want to report one bug.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Finish the game and unlock Hub+
2. Go to school world
3. Find a snowball and go to snow world
4. Exit from snow world to dream hub.
5. Now Hub+ is gone :( You can't go to any other worlds.
After restarting the game, nothing changes, still no Hub+.
Also - It would be nice if you could add save feature after every level like it was in the Boundless Dreams.
I lost my progress once because of that...
going through my backlog, I forgot you made this with all the other awesome games you have come out with
Full Play No Commentary

Honestrly i didn't want to continue playing.
Music is neat.
> I can't just get rid of this feeling, i see the tricks.
It's called "getting old" and nothing any dev can do is going to fix that
Good game now downloading!
