Dream Alone

一开始大家也都不了解，《孤独的梦境》就这样打着黑暗风就上来了，乍一看是横版的，跟《地狱边境》颇有几分相似。游戏开头非常牛逼，上来就是癫痫警告，说什么游戏画面频繁闪烁极可能诱发癫痫或者激发你潜藏的癫痫“潜能”，说白了就是使用我们的产品有安全风险，如果你不怕死就来吧。这也是目前为止游戏惟一出现的一次中文，但如果后面不赶紧切换语言，整个界面就会充斥"!=Missing Translation="的提示。一开始我还真以为这是游戏风格使然，然而还真的就是汉化文本还没到位。 介于开启字幕之后过场仍然没有字幕，我这个外语听力残障患者只能大概拼凑其内容，游戏的故事开场大概是讲主角身边的人们有一天突然中了邪无法醒来，于是主角决定到异世界去拯救他们。好，然后游戏开始，一进去就是操作键位提示，一共三种：PC端、平板端、主机端，让人不得不佩服这游戏非常有野心。如果决定键盘操作，那键位就是日式的，左右方向键加“Z”“X”“C”。对了，话说回来，这游戏的画面还真的很闪，为了做出眨眼效果，整个屏幕频繁的产生动态黑块以屏幕中心点为基准收放，总之很是一个很烦的效果。 《地狱边境》很好玩，但是如果你觉得《孤独的梦境》也可以和前者一样，那就大错特错了。游戏的高难度或者说不友好，可以说是与生俱来一般，从第一幕就能体会到。首先游戏的美工真的不行，像捕兽夹什么的画得跟环境浑然一体，经常是各种物体难以辨识。另外，主角是个易碎品，有点威胁的东西一碰就死，开局刷那些怪只能跳过去，还以为是要玩马里奥，也让我想起《魂斗罗》高手不击杀通关视频，让我在怪物的缝隙间跳来跳去还是颇有难度。还有就是生硬的动作和衔接，游戏采用剪纸风格，本来动作就僵硬，加上各种奇怪的判定和bug，使得动作反应时间和幅度非常不好把握。 先撇开上面的缺陷，再回来看游戏的设计。游戏虽然各种马里奥，但是还是有解谜成分，来到第二章就会获得一个新能力——切换表里世界，这个功能感觉是用了《地狱侦探》的概念，哪里通就走哪里，不过嘛没有提示鬼知道哪里才通。另外一个是短时自我复制，这个和前面切换世界的直接区别就是不需要捡道具充值，随时能放，自身的复制品既可以引怪也可以帮卡住开关，至于借鉴哪里就不说了，多了去。最后一个能力我卡关了，不知道是什么。游戏中给解谜弄出来的花样挺多，但是实际应用却是低水平，卡时间、吃操作从头到尾都存在，根本就不是考验智力，而是考验操作。不过这还不是最遭的。和很多优秀解谜游戏不同，《孤独的梦境》里只要一个不小心，就会走进死胡同，就想玩搬运工游戏，不小心把箱子推进错误的角落而导致失败，而且游戏中还真会出现出现推进角落拿不出来、掉进坑里上不来的情况。这一点在该游戏中比比皆是，这时候除了自杀没别的办法，但是有时候甚至连自杀都做不到。有时候也经常是一个连续的动作要保证万无一失，只要中间出个纰漏就得功亏一篑从头再来。最后还有就是各种各样的恶劣设计，就是冲着整人来的，宫崎英高都没这么贱。在《地狱边境》几乎全黑的隐藏关都玩得津津有味的我，面对《孤独的梦境》只想早点弃坑。可以说它的关卡设计师根本不行，庸才一个。 再回头看剩下的缺陷： 1、游戏第一章为了增加难度，故意用前景遮挡怪物，导致根本看不见。 2、游戏中的物体边缘判定非常糟糕，里面有些东西的边缘可以攀爬，而有些却又不行，但是看上去都一样。 3、游戏中还会出现透明墙壁，使得本来从贴图上，看起来好像能通过的地方实际走不过去。 4、有些垫脚石一面可爬，一面却很难爬，不小心掉到另一面就和死了没两样。 5、切换世界的能力值在死后还会消耗，同样反过来死后也还能累加。 6、要启动能力的地方只有靠猜，消耗掉的能力值还不能再补充。 7、玩到一半退出，下次要从关头重来。 8、怪物无预兆的变向。 9、章节通关过场居然能卡住播不出来。 10、前景、后景、实景、虚景傻傻的分不清楚。 11、只有制作人员才知道什么时候才是完美的行动时机。 画面：一般，虐眼睛。 美工：一般，辣眼睛。 音乐、音效：一般。 游戏性：糟糕。 优点： 敢于作死的艺术风格。 缺点： bug一大堆。 不合理设计非常多。 高难度。浪费时间。 评分：3/10。难度拿捏不准，关卡设计失败，圈钱游戏，没有质检的残次品。不要为失败的设计埋单，不要为失败的设计埋单，不要为失败的设计埋单。

I've only just started playing and I already can't stand the flickering grainy visuals that make it hard to see anything.

Dream Alone is a game that was given to me by WarSaw Games and Fat Dog Games. It is a platformer that is very dark with gore splash screen when you die. And you will die, A LOT. Basically, anytime you touch anything that is not the ground, you die (monsters, spikes, pits, axes, bullets, etc.). There are different powers that you can use to help you progress and solve the different puzzles such as: travelling to an hellish version of the same level, creating a source of light or creating a clone to activate switches or levers. The game has 8 different worlds with most worlds having 3 levels each (with the exception of the second to last world only having 2 levels and the last world having only 1 level). The gameplay felt very floaty (by design) and the hit detection was sometimes hard to figure out (some ledges are very easy to grab some others are not, and there is no marker or tell signs to figure out which is which). The atmosphere of the game was pretty cool, the grainy graphics adding to the overal feel of dread of the game. I need to stress the fact that you need to be patient with the game and not get frustrated by death. The game loooooves to throw you curveballs just to kill you and the entire premise of the gameplay is mostly trial and error. What stood out to me the most was the soundtrack which was simply amazing. This all being said, I'm not sure that the game is worth the asking price (10.99$ USD at the time of writing) considering it's a pretty short game (4 hours to complete, faster if you figure out the puzzle faster). Overall, it is a good game, a good platformer. I would check it out if you are a fan of Limbo (with simpler puzzles and gameplay) I would definitely check it out when on sale. I rate this game 4 spiders out of 7.

It's wannabe Limbo with repeated enemies and traps scattered about. It's like flash animation so everything seems like a paper cut out. Such as enemy spiders, they have that overlapping annoying structure with spriter-based bone structure and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ blood effects. The camera has a constant blinking effect that quickly becomes annoying as hell while trying to progress. The character is a stupid doll-like looking little boy ripped off from Braid. The jumping mechanic has an automatic 'float' to it. It's really not worth playing. I've seen better android games although it has that generic control feel all around. 2.4/10. I say 2.4 because it seems as though there was a vision here and the animation shows the artist's work but fails miserably at providing an enjoyable experience whatsoever. And it seems to be one of those "game dumps" where the developer gave up and half assed it just to get it out there with no intentions on returning to make it a proper game that's even remotely worth playing. I was looking into a refund but it seems I got this game in a bundle which it was published and developed by separate entities than the other titles so I am still willing to give them a chance. So it looks like I'm stuck with it. Absolutely not worth $4 (Steam summer sale; 2019), I'm annoyed having paid a $2+ equivalent within a bundle.

Dream Alone is a complete piece of trash and a horrible game, so what’s the story. A young boy’s Village and his family contract a disease that puts them into a coma, he hears of someone called Lady Death who can save them. So he soon sets out to find her. Now for the likes, the some of the music was okay and the background art was kind of nice looking. The enemy designs were cool looking like the faceless spiders monsters and I do like that at the start of a new chapter is told like a fairytale/story book opening. Now for the dislikes and there is a lot to dislike about this game. To start the story is very confusing, as I said at the start of a new chapter its has a fairytale/storybook opening. But the problem with it is its very inconsistent and barely has anything to do with the boy’s story except for Lady Death, but it’s just too confusing and has nothing to do with the boy and his problem. The Ending is also really bad and confusing, [spoiler] basically when we get to lady death she says that we have to get a box for her but we're never supposed to open it. but the boy does open it and it turns out that his family is okay but then it turns out he's not part of the family and he turns into some kind of demon thing, I don't know the game doesn't even have narration to explain what the hell happened. [/spoiler] the game's graphics/picture is really bad, the game is black and white normally that's actually not a problem but in this game it has this very grainy look to it which can be hard to see sometimes and there's also this weird dark filter thing where this darkness closes in and out like your blinking and it got really, really annoying. The gameplay can be very frustrating, it's a simple side-scroller but what made it bad and very annoying was all the damn traps in the game. There are tons of traps that kill you in one hit and when you’re trying to get past you have to be pinpoint accurate or you die. There were so many of them that it almost made me quit the game. The game also has this power were you can switch between two different realities but you see in other games that have this kind of mechanic, it can help you solve puzzles or get past enemies. But in this game it's rarely used other than revealing some platforms or hidden doors or showing a hidden lever sometimes times, it doesn't make enemies disappear like in other reality altering games and it’s so rarely used you forget to use it until you’re stuck, It also requires power to use and if your power for drained you have to die and collect the power ups to use it again. Sometimes the platforming can also be a pain we're even though your close to the next platform you still miss it and fall. There's also bugs in the game now I don't know if this was my computer or the game, but when I was at one part of the cave level my computer kept going into power save mode and I had to unplug the cable to my computer screen and plug it back in, I even checked if everything was okay, it was. But it's still kept doing that, it did stop and I was able to beat level and it didn't show up again, so I don't know if it was my computer or the game itself. Just thought I'd mention it just in case it was the game. The level designs in the game are really bad sometimes the worst being the cave level because of that bug I mentioned, the city level because there's a part in the game were you go into this house and you have to hit all the levers to unlock a door. but it doesn't give an indication you have to hit four levers then the one you see and if you die you have to start all the way back to the beginning which can be a pain in the ass. And the Battlefield level with all the damned explosive traps. And what really makes this game so bad is the fact that it did have potential I mean given to a proper game developer I'm sure it would have been a classic but as it is right now well it's just garbage pure simple garbage. All right then with all that said Dream Alone is a complete piece of trash and a horrible game, its story is bad, its gameplay is bad, its level designs are bad and even those I got this when it was on sale I still feel ripped off. So never ever get this game not even if it's on sale, not even if it was a gift.

通关了，一共打了十六个小时，有一半的时间耗在了其中一个关卡。然后打完了发现还有一个成就没完成，就是最后通关不用光（作为一个完美和强迫症的人必须全成就），我他妈哪里知道什么时候是最后一关，搞得我从新打一波。游戏也没有他们说的那么糟糕，但是玩起来是真的糟。画面还好，就是折磨人，汉化正常。我觉得进游戏提醒那里还需要加个有高血压和心脏病的不要玩，真的要气死人，里面好多地方就是卡时间和频率，多一秒死，晚一秒死，有时候跑的慢可以跳着跑，比跑快一点点，里面有几关是真的绕还难。评分给个6分，不怎么样，打完都不想玩第二遍。

建议你们不要购买这款游戏 谁买谁傻逼 嗯 ♥♥♥♥。 游戏本身BUG众多，再加上那模仿眨眼神一般的视觉特效，这是一场身体和心的锻炼。 总而言之别玩 买了快退了 打到城市那里我已经不行了 直接卡死在房间里 能力值用光了 想死都不能除非重开。

Do I like that game ? Yes. The dark aesthetic is really cool and the controls work fine, which is pretty crucial for a platformer. But ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is soul crushing, I can totally understand the other criticisms I heard. If you buy that game, prepare to die to a lot of bull***t. Edit : Changed my evaluation to negative because some checkpoints are placed really terribly for a game where everything kill you in one hit and it make you redo really large portions of it.

이건 사람이 하라고 만든 게임이 아니..그냥 빨리 죽어라 죽어라 하는 게임입니다...비슷한 게임으로는 고양이 마리오가 있겠네요; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIR8sBu3xCw

-annoying and badly placed checkpoints -no option for choosing your own keys for movement/powers -game expects you to time every single move you make (if you take a second longer to jump, you're automatically dead and you have restart from one of the horrible checkpoints) I'm glad that I bought this game when it was on sale. So I didn't have to waste 9 euros :)
