About the Story

It's been a rough year for Dolores Worth. She doesn't like to talk about it. But lately her dreams have been getting more and more intense. They keep her up at night. If she doesn't conquer the trauma of her past, her marriage, her life, even her very sanity could be in danger. She must find balance. She must find peace. She must. Keep. Going.

This game is made with ADRIFT and contains optional music.

A buggy but intense psychological symbolism game, November 16, 2017
by MathBrush
Related reviews: about 1 hour

This game reminds me of Pilgrimage by Victor Ojuel. Both are symbolic games with female protagonists based on the 4 humors: sanguine, phlegmatic, bilious, and melancholic.

Beyond that, though, they diverge significantly. Temperamentum has a 'real world' and 4 different worlds themed on the idea of hot/cold, wet/dry associated to the 4 humors.

The game is heavy, about loss. I enjoyed it, but parts of it are almost impossible without the walkthrough, and the walkthrough itself is unreliable in parts (for instance, west and east are switched at one point, and in another, it uses the word 'woman' when only 'her' works).
