Dreamscaper

For a demo, Dreamscaper is very polished. If I didn't know any better, I would think this was already a small finished release.

Gameplay-wise, it's a nice take on the roguelite genre. The concept of the game is a great choice. Peering into the mind of a teenager dealing with depression, fighting her inner demons and mental issues in the dreamworld hits home to me personally. As someone who deals with depression, anxiety, and other mental issues, I used (and still use) video games and fantasy as a protection and therapy mechanism.

Graphically, I dig the style; simple, yet effective. The tutorial threw me off a bit, as I was not a fan of the pixellated 3D style. But, once the main game kicked in, I was sold. Keeping the main character faceless was a very good choice, if intentional, given the concept of the game.

The controls are fluid. The flashing combo multiplier mechanic is a mixed bag for me. For the ranged attacks, it makes perfect sense and plays wonderfully. On melee attacks, however, I never could get the hang of pulling it off.

The star of the game thus far is easily the soundtrack. Once I got past the intro, I was hit in the face with some of the best music I've heard playing games all year. It's a wise move releasing the OST as a Kickstarter perk. I seriously can't quit gushing over the music.

As of now, the only thing I've really got to complain about is that I had a softlock loading the second stage in the demo. After restarting the game, I had no further issues.

Superb job, and good luck with the rest of the Kickstarter campaign!

With the new 0.6.10.1 update, I seem to have found a visual error, likely involved with the Decent Drencher, but possibly also specific to the Isolation fight, and maybe even specific to the spot Isolation was at when I was shooting at him. I don't really have a good way to describe to visual issue, so here's a link to a small video of it happening: 

"the program cant start because api-ms-crt-string-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer"

Already downloaded it a couple of times but still dosent work. I think your download file is incomplete.

This game is honestly amazing. It only took me about 1 - 2 hours to complete everything currently in the game, but the randomization of each run keeps it fun for hour after hour. I would greatly recommend this game to anyone.

Gave it a go...

This has really good quality. Like, really really good quality. I am actually jealous. Its rough but the base system is really polished and well made.

Fantastic game that does so much suprisingly well. Amazing job 10/10
