About the game

In a small tourist town a young girl, the daughter of the town’s mayor, falls in coma due to an accident. The impotence of the local physicians forces Mrs. Mayor to seek the aid of a psychiatrist, who is rumoured to possess a unique ability to traverse people’s dreams – a Dreamwalker.

The value story

It has been discounted 60 times in the 8 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 70 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 26 percent on value. It is pricier than 80 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 77 percent. Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek ($14.99, scores 52) outscores it, and so does Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden ($14.99, scores 57). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

The drop-off

Beautiful and intriguing story. Well designed. The time will fly while playing it.

I don't remember exactly what I felt during the gameplay. H*ck, I don't even remember the story at all. I mean the last time I played this game was in December, 2021. But I do know that I did enjoy it. Otherwise, I would've hid the game. I didn't. I also crafted level 5 badge for this game so there must've been something. Maybe I'll pick this game up again some day. hahaha 😄

To be honest, at first, I didn't think I was going to like this hidden object game, but it turned out to be one my faves. It was challenging at times, had a new mini game or two, and the story was interesting. I had fun playing. I didn't get all the achievements, but I'll get the rest the next time I play this in a couple of years!! Recommended to those who enjoy the genre.
