Ahnayro: The Dream World

A surprisingly beautiful puzzle/research game. The puzzles, like Alice & Smith's other games, involve ARG elements in which you will have to make use of Google to try and find the answers. It will lead you down a rabbit hole of learning about real life history, much of which is rather dark. This all ties into the game's story involving a sleep clinic and a girl plagued by strange dreams. Definitely not for those who have no interest in doing plenty of reading, but if you love yourself some creepy bits of history, please give it a try. It's a steal for 5 dollars.

Interesting and fun game. Love the puzzles and design in general.

Have you ever come back from the brink of death? I have. It happened when I entered the amazing realm of Ahnayro: The Dream World. Fantastic in it's simplicity, it tore into my very core of being and caused my life to pause. Everything has stalled since those simple two hours in the game. Now I see life through the lens of the lens crafter, and find the oblivion of nevermore has become my magnificent friend. "Oh come now," you might question, "what kind of depth are we talking about here?" I'm talking about the utter annihilation of ego. Pow! Every second measured in the present moment. That's what this game has given me - new life. It started when I saw the first puzzle and realized it was a metaphor for my life. Could there be more? Of course. I ended at 2 hours in, satisfied with a depth that cleansed the soul.

Right, so, I actually won this game when they were unveiling it via answering a question correctly and getting the key for it. I loved playing through The Black Watchmen, got to take part in one of the live events called Operation Silver Sphere, had a blast. But, BUT, while I loved me a grand puzzle in dealing with spy movie level shenanigans of the core game and it’s more focused sister ones I have to be real here. If lack the time to set, say, maybe four or so hours maximum aside, if you despise researching things and going down rabbit holes, if you dislike games that act soley as a hub with the game itself being mostly you gathering clues from the pre-made websites and the like then you might not like this game. While not quite as bad as TBW it’s also not as kind about the digging you have to do for it, some of the stuff is obscure and I only knew some of it because I went down the rabbit hole as a kid and thus recognized some of the stuff there, frankly if you don’t like digging for clues outside the actual game itself as it runs in the background it’s probably not for you. But, if that is your thing, the game is pretty good. If you want to give it a try I suggest waiting on a sale to get the whole thing for cheap but I do like the games in general. Hope this helps

This game kept me playing until it was finished. 10/10

Rubbish.

It's a decent game if you like esoteric trivia and doing research like an online detective. The game loop is couched in a nice Black Watchmen-like wrapper to give it a bit of theme and if you enjoy any of that, this game is likely for you.
