The Shame of a Daydreamer

I love this game. I've already spent a lot of time playtesting and know the ins and outs fairly well, but it still manages to catch me off-guard with it's witty writing and unexpected consideration for obscure combinations of choices. This along with the deeply thought-out characters dealing with topics often too shameful to be depicted in media makes it a uniquely well-written, funny and interesting game in my opinion. While one shouldnt expect a focus on gameplay, i really enjoy how the shame and mind mechanics respond to your choices however small they may be - painting a vivid picture of the player characters' thought patterns in ways i found very relatable, and when not relatable, very... interesting.

Absolutely wonderful game. I've been waiting to play it for a while now, and I can say with confidence that it hasn't disappointed me. The writing is phenomenal, making you uncomfortable in all the right ways, working in sync with the ominous music, and the simple, childish, yet familiar art style. It represents the flawed humanity from two, widely different perspectives. Shame, something that lives within all of us, its a terrible, yet terribly human thing. You experience shame witnessing others' flaws, and witnessing your own in parallel. Every interaction feels heavy, and so, so wonderfully, painfully human. This game isn't afraid, or better said, ''ashamed'' to tackle the uncomfortable reality of being a human, living amongst other flawed humans such as yourself. We love, something both biological and psychological, and we hunger, a feeling produced purely by the body. Without hunger we cannot love, the line between the two blurs itself, shamefully.

Deeply, viscerally, relentlessly, perversely, almost unbearably uncomfortable.

I'm not much for RPG dialogue-heavy games, but this game made me think otherwise. The Shame of a Daydreamer had me jumping in my seat at its twists. Sometimes I even screamed! The dialogue is so enticing that I always want to learn more about the characters and the world. I've just reached my first ending as Elias and have already started my first route as Felix. I will definitely continue playing to see what other lore and endings the game has to offer!

i have been a playtester for the game for a while now, so all of these thoughts come from even before the full release. my overall opinion hasnt changed much from my demo review, but my feelings about this game has probably amplified ten-fold. but how do i describe exactly how i feel about this game? it is so very detailed, even after exploring so many options in the game there is still so much to see. and the writing is incredible! you can feel the emotions of the characters just by experiencing a few minutes of the game. i have never felt so connected to a game before. it takes the ugliest, most raw and shameful parts of life and makes it into something beautiful and easy to connect to. there are times when it is so hilarious and yet so heartbreaking, but no matter what it manages to stay interesting all throughout your time playing. the art and music in this game is so commendable, each part of it is so wonderfully crafted together to create what i can only describe as a masterpiece. the gameplay is easy to follow, not typical for an RPG but perfectly fitting for the story being told, and it really gets you thinking of all the possibilities that you can achieve. i love this little universe that has been created, and it is definitely worth the price. i would recommend this to anyone who loves a unique, story-driven RPG with complex but lovable characters and a world that is so unholy, but at the same time so very divine. <3

i've only played the game for a bit and gotten one of the endings, but this is a game i thoroughly enjoyed and honestly one of the most interesting ones i've played in a while. the world building is amazing, and it makes me just want to keep exploring and seeing what other clues and secrets i can find. the plot takes a turn in a direction i didn't expect at all, which was a good surprise. you can clearly tell the creator put a lot of time and dedication into this game. i can't wait to play more and find out what the other endings are :]

I've only just started playing this game but it has already officially sucked me in. Not only is the art absolutely beautiful but the story telling is done in such a way that's intriguing and captivating and has me wanting more. It's not too early to definitely note that the creator put a lot of thought and love into this game. The characters are amazing and well done and I can't wait to find out more about them and just the world in game in general!! Absolutely worth the time checking out!! <3

I cannot recommend this game to anyone I know. I think it's a game for angsty teens with brains fried by obsessive pornography use, so I am sure it's going to be a big hit and it will find it's crowd. That being said, the art is fantastic.

This title looked interesting - but between the clunky layout and constant crashes I couldn't really get into it. I might try this again if there is an update that improves accessability/playability.

i love this game sooo much. each character is written with so much complex morality, showing how beautiful the 'ugly' side of a person's mind can be. its so human. the soundtrack is an absolute banger and the art is unlike what i've seen before in a game that deals with such heavy topics. there are small details or lines of dialogue that seem insignificant to the story, but later on add a new layer all together! i strongly suggest giving it a try. the story does not go the way you think it will, it is impressively elusive and more supernatural than at a first glance :)
