A Puzzle in a Dream, June 1, 2025

The writing is solid, in a game which takes you in a dream featuring various environments, where you have to work your way to solve a puzzle to get through each stage.

Still, much of the puzzle largely involves visiting different areas, obtaining a certain key item to unlock another area, and so on, until you unlock the final task in a key area and move on to the next stage. Brute forcing your way through the puzzles by selecting as many options as you can could also get you through most of the story. Still, a few of the sections require you to think and read the text clearly to get through, so some challenge is there. It's not overly difficult or complicated, however, which is a plus for me.

You will also have to repeatedly wake up to feed a fire, or it's game over, but it still felt more like tedium to pad out the gameplay rather than an interesting part of the puzzle.

It's a short and fun bit of entertainment, and the undo option also means you can't really lose, since it's possible to rewind back to an earlier stage of the game. It's good for a bit of entertainment.
