One Dreamer PC Game 2022 review:
A great game with a great story. During the game, you will be holding back tears for most of the game, except that when the last cutscenes come, onion-cutting ninjas will appear out of nowhere.
Help Frank, a burnt-out indie game developer, rediscover his love for video games while struggling to release his debut title. Reprogram objects, fix bugs, and solve coding puzzles as you journey through the story of One Dreamer. As a software developer who was forced to get a job that pays the bills instead of pursuing their game development dream, this hits close to home. You don’t actually go choosing the other job thinking that you’ll let go of the dream of making a game.
A few hours in, it’s a great story, interesting visual style, and amazing sound design/music that really pulls it all together. My only complaint is walking through stairs, doors, and behind objects is not very intuitive. I’ve spent nearly half an hour in one spot not knowing where we were supposed to go because we were getting caught on a corner over and over and not realizing it.
Pros of One Dreamer:
- A narrative-driven, emotional story about the grueling development process behind making an indie game.
- Realistic, but easy-to-understand pseudocode puzzles based on C#. Edit over 350 snippets of code from Frank’s toaster to playable mini-games.
- Meet an extensive cast of charming characters, complete with full English voice acting.
- Explore a wide range of atmospheric, pixel-by-pixel drawn environments.
- A beautiful original soundtrack was composed over a period of 7 years.
