An entry into a competition for games based on dreams, The Retreat feels just a bit off-kilter from our reality. Many elements of the backstory go unexplained for the whole game -- which is not very long.
Despite the relative slightness of the piece, though, it has evocative moments, and there was one action in particular that I felt guilty about when the game was over.

Making Your Day with a Visit to McDreamland
As retold dreams go, "The Retreat" is reasonably coherent, with a consistent narrative and no major scene changes or plot discontinuities. It doesn't quite feel like an ordinary story, though. Emily Short
