An Abyss of Dreams

This is a great game!! The game play is just what you'd expect from a classic point and click game. I really enjoyed the visuals, voice acting and story telling. This game proves that a game doesn't need to be super long to be great. I didn't experience any technical issues, it ran great. I did struggle with two of the main puzzles. It probably was just a me thing. But I wish there were more clues around to help solve them. A quick google search helped me figure them out though. So don't let those puzzles stop you from playing this game!! I really like this Dev and can't wait for the next game!!

I streamed this game, and for sure it was a great time. The game take some inspirations from Myst, and before I even became aware of that, I absolutely got the vibes of Myst with how you navigate the game and the puzzles. What I mean by navigate, its a point and click game so your character stands still in one spot with a 360 3D scene around them. You click to move to another spot in whatever current room you are in, or to get to another area. The environments and visuals look great, especially the Lovecraftian other world that the steam page mentions. And then the puzzles, the game doesn't hold your hand, much like Myst, but does try to give you reasonable hints/clues. All the puzzles are definitely solvable, just look around fully and carefully if you get stuck. Look at all the details and try not to get stuck on one way of thinking if it doesn't seem to be working. I don't speak french at all, but the voice acting was good, and the english subtitles are properly done so everything is clear and completely understandable. The story follows a young girl who, along with her sister, has been given up by her father and has to now stay at an orphanage. Where unfortunately, there are terrible strict religious "discipline" enacted on the children. Which is actually based on historical events (as the steam page does mention). The horrors of both worlds, the realism of cruel people in one, and the cosmic horrors of the other, do blend together well to be a terrible nightmare for the children of the orphanage. Overall, the story does flow nicely and does make sense. Also the sound design and soundtrack were very good, and there are no jumpscares if you're not into that.

BRAVO le Studio Chien d'Or ! - Très bon jeu où l'on doit faire preuve de logique et d'observation. - Cela peut-être assez violent (et réel) du point de vue historique par rapport au traitement réservé aux enfants "orphelins". - C'est un monde très détaillé et la qualité du travail artistique est vraiment top niveau. - Les voix sont d'une beauté et justesse incroyables. BRAVO! Nous attendons la suite... Note : nous retrouvons l'univers et la logique semblable au 2 jeux précédents : Le murmureur et la vallée qui murmure.

J'ai tout aimé. L'histoire, la direction artistique, l'ambiance, le jeu des acteurs... L'ensemble rend hommage à la culture québécoise et nous en apprend sur l'histoire du Québec. Les puzzles sont bien construits, te font réfléchir sans être impossibles non plus. Bref, un excellent jeu dans lequel on se retrouve rapidement plongé. Très hâte de voir les prochains jeux de ce studio.

J'ai été super emballée perso L'histoire est touchante (hors fantasy, surtout quand on sait qu'elle est inspirée de faits réels), les énigmes demandent un bon sens de l'observation, le graphisme est ultra efficace, l'ambiance prend direct aux tripes, les acteurs sont très chouettes et la musique un vrai bijou. Ce petit jeu se fait vite, mais il donne vraiment envie de suivre pour voir ce que cette équipe de créatifs va faire ensuite. Je conseille les yeux fermés.

Que dire ... j ai adorée l histoire et bien construite et tellement triste aussi , hate de jouer la suite

loved it. want more
