Dreamscaper combines solid gameplay elements and narrative in an excellent and carefully crafted adventure. While there are occasional difficulty jumps that break the loop, there are mechanics to put things back together and push onward in a journey of discovery and heart. It's a good roguelike outright that also succeeds weaving in storytelling that most games are often too fearful to even try.

Absolutely gorgeous. As befits a game that takes place in dreams - where you go to battle the monsters of sadness and loss - the whole thing has a dreamlike quality, with the edges of each room barely sketched in. In fact, even when the heroine is awake, the game still retains a half-awake, otherworldly feeling thanks to its graphics.

Really rather good. What it lacks in originality, it makes up for in heart.

With its pitch-perfect game world, highly rewarding gameplay loop, imaginative premise, and personal boss fights, you'll regret sleeping on this one.
