Tachyon Dreams Anthology

It's sort of mid. It has good things and bad things. I should probably have checked the demo first and I might then have passed, but still I didn't really regret dropping $5. Pros: + only $5 + some of the art is particularly vibrant + rare AGI style of gameplay and you can examine quite a lot of stuff textually ++ Starts with an interesting premise and time-travel mechanic Cons: -- Completely abandons its interesting premise and mechanic pretty quickly, becomes a selection of almost random scenes strung together -- Story is simultaneously thin and incredibly unfocused - Puzzles aren't quite moon-logic but seem kinda unrewardingly random; one puzzle's solution is even just a weak play on words Eh: ~ The humor is 'very slight whimsy' rather than anything I'd call comedy, but then comedy is subjective... ~ Took about 2.8 hours to finish... so on the one hand it isn't long, on the other hand I didn't want to it go on longer.

This is an absolutely gorgeous, EGA, text parser game that honors the Sierra games that came before it in a way that stays true to the story it telling. I really appreciated this games ability to maintain its own voice throughout- it doesn't lean on constant references or cheap callbacks, rather it knows the tale it wants to tell and it delivers it assuredly. And it's just, man, it's so fun to look at. I've never seen EGA blended and contrasted like this, the world feels alive and welcoming of your exploration. The story tells a complete story with a lovely if not unexpectedly deeper arc at the end that I especially appreciated. I highly recommend this game, I had an absolute blast all the way through!

If you like the old parser AGI Sierra On-Line games (Space Quest 1,2, King's Quest 1,2) you'll like this. It is far less obtuse and usually hints at what you need to do. The story is more of a stream of consciousness, but that's what you get with Cosmic Void games. Short and sweet too.

Realmente, sé poco del juego. Muy poco. De hecho, si tengo que hablar con certeza y propiedad, solo puedo hablar del género, una aventura gráfica peculiar por su mecánica, y del apartado audiovisual, ya que realmente es lo que se aprecia. https://eljugonsolitario.com/2024/07/23/analisis-tachyon-dreams-anthology/
