About
Daymare Town is a hand-drawn puzzle adventure game. You find yourself in a heart of a strange city populated by peculiar Metamorph creatures. This town is full of nooks and crannies, puzzles, secrets and items to collect to help you along the way. Can you escape the nightmare of a day?

You are not alone here. You will meet peculiar daymare inhabitants. Some of them will help you, some need your help. Almost everyone has a story. You can choose to learn those stories if you just listen or look carefully at the environmental storytelling.

You will have to dive deep into the nooks and crannies of this town in order to solve all its mysteries and puzzles, of which are plenty. The better part of them will have you fighting the entropy of a town, bringing back signal to noise. There are also creatures here that need your help, look at them closely to learn who they are and what they need from you. You will have an inventory of items to use while solving puzzles.

Entire game is hand-drawn. There's nothing auto-generated nor procedural. There's no AI used in any capacity. Each location was thoughtfully designed. Its stylized and sketchy character emphasizes the eerie atmosphere of an unshaped nightmare you found yourself in.

Piano music for this game was created by contemporary composer Alex Voytenko. His style of music perfectly emphasizes the atmosphere of unspoken madness permeating this town.

A beautiful remaster of some of my favorite flash games from my childhood. Every screen is hand drawn in Mateusz's artstyle. If you like point and clicks, definitely play this!
While I would like to recommend this game, in all honesty I can't bring myself to do it. After playing Submachine Legacy, and paying more for Daymare town than that, it's a big let down. While the art work and atmosphere are there as in all Matuez previous offerings, this is more of an over engineered scavenger hunt. I think Submachine is probably the best game I have ever played, this simply doesn't even hold a candle to it. I guess I was spoiled by playing Submachine first, because all of the subsequent games of his I have played have been tepid at best in comparison. If you haven't played Submachine yet - DO IT!!. This is simply not a game that even approached his previous efforts and feels like he is playing off of his prior success(es).
Another brilliant game from Mateusz. Worth every penny. This one was a little more head scratching but the ah ha moments are very satisfying. Just so good in every way.
Excellent game its like passing through surreal, gloomy eastern european comic
The art and atmosphere carry the game, compensating for its otherwise frustrating design.
I've played this game in its earlier iteration as a Flash game. I have long considered this artist one of the best game makers in the point-and-click style of adventure game. The art is haunting and expertly done, the gameplay is a bit of a challenge (without being impossible). You will need to look very carefully for clues and Easter-eggs. I love being able to explore and solve puzzles - nothing feels better than solving a mystery and figuring out a puzzle.
Rusty Lake wishes it could be this edit: okay i do have a few criticisms. a lot of the items you can collect are only useful for optional achievements, or in being sold for cash. but you don't want to sell any of them because there's no way of knowing what's important, even if you're not interested in the achievements. so by chapter 4 you probably will have accumulated WAY too much junk, making it difficult to even find an item in your inventory. the Submachine series doesn't have this problem, because it didn't have a billion achievements just for using X item in Y place. one change from the Flash version intrigued me: [spoiler] in the original Flash game, you talk to a suicidal npc (literally named "jumper") sitting on a cliffedge and are unable to convince them to change their mind. in the Steam version, just your briefly talking to them is enough to make them determined to keep living. I can understand why it was changed, but... I think the original was possibly more effective? and added to the unconquerable atmosphere of dread? maybe skutnik didn't feel comfortable randomly including something like that anymore, or maybe he wanted to show that there is hope even in this aimless wasteland [/spoiler] regardless this is still a great pointandclick adventure slash interactive comic book. deprived of the striking colours of the mature Submachine entries, skutnik creates a compelling atmosphere, equally bleak and whimsical. no silly orchestral stings or jumpscares. he understands the fundamental isolation of the genre. every screen is a new strange world.
The beautiful, detailed, and winding environments have the side effect of forcing you to hunt each image for the stuff that is actually clickable. It’s super annoying that the game does not separate key items from the 300,000 coins and paper clips and lint balls or whatever you can pick up for optional achievements. If I had known which items were actually important, I probably would’ve finished the game in an hour.
It's a slow paced game. You are free to explore, no time pressure, and enjoy the creativity the author put into all his hand drawings which later became this wonderful game. To me it's relaxing, funny and engaging in the same time. Personally it's a great way for me to recover from burnout. My mind is totally absorbed by the story, the exploration and the puzzles, all accompanied by a genius soundtrack. All my intrusive, burnout generated thoughts are simply melting away and my batteries start to recharge. Huge THANK YOU!
um jogo do falecido flash. muito bom
