[h1]Before I played The Dream of Shadowlands, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
They really nailed the 90's anime art style. The style and setting makes this game feel unique and interesting at first impression. The voice acting has a fitting filter put over it which makes it sound more immersive and less amateur. I've put Episode 2 on my wishlist. Great job
i like the artstyle and not doing the same wheel cipher 8 times in a row
I hope there's going to be more. I really like the aesthetic of this game.
If you love RPG Maker Horror styled games then this is the game for you! Looking forward to future episodes!
RPG в жанре хоррора с элементами приключения: игрок управляет Риной, оказавшейся в загадочном мире Тенистых земель. Вместе с демоном Джилом героиня исследует сюрреалистичные локации, сражается с монстрами и раскрывает заговор культа. Игра выполнена в ретро‑стиле с оглядкой на аниме 90‑х. Плюсы: Уникальный визуальный стиль — ручная отрисовка и эстетика 90‑х аниме создают запоминающийся облик игры, выделяют её на фоне других RPG; Атмосферный сеттинг — искажённые сновидческие пейзажи и пугающие существа усиливают напряжение, погружая в мрачную историю; Захватывающий сюжет — история о проклятии и выживании интригует с первых минут и мотивирует узнать, что будет дальше. Минусы: Короткая продолжительность эпизода — контент можно пройти за 1–2,5 часа, что может разочаровать тех, кто ждёт масштабного приключения; Технические проблемы — возможны сбои и вылеты, которые прерывают игровой процесс и снижают комфорт прохождения; Слабая подача механик — некоторые возможности (например, бой от первого лица) упоминаются лишь в тексте в начале игры, из‑за чего игроки могут о них забыть. Итог: подойдёт поклонникам хоррор‑RPG, аниме‑стилистики и атмосферных историй — впечатляет ручной графикой, мрачной атмосферой и интригующим сюжетом. Может разочаровать из‑за малой длины эпизода, технических недочётов и недостаточного объяснения игровых механик.
I think this game was quite interesting and it was a huge breath of fresh air especially with a game that last only 2 hours sadly the ending of the episode was really disappointing but other then that this game is alright in my book.
I really enjoyed the games unique looks reminiscent of 90s anime, it had neat enemy and puzzle designs, but the main character is extremely obnoxious, and the conversations often feel very anime, in a bad way. The voice acting is also a miss for me, Id prefer if it had none at all.. Im sure they put a lot of work into it, and yes, its a free game, but that doesnt change my view on it.
A pretty good start for a creepy-surreal action RPG. The second episode is out too, so the project doesn't seem to be abandoned. I'd love to see this journey to the end.
