Dreamland Reviews

Even for a one room game, this was small. Dreamland seemed to consist of nothing more complicated than filling a waterskin and then subsequently emptying it, although this wasn't as easy as it sounds due to some truly dire guess the verb problems.
Writing a review for a game like this is a struggle because there's so little on show here it's difficult knowing where to start. The intro was at least reasonably engaging and there's the makings of something worthwhile here, but ultimately Dreamland suffers from being so straightforward that it's essentially over before it's even started. A few more puzzles - indeed any puzzles - would have been nice.

Comments:
Short, obvious, to the point. Ouchie with the
guess-the-verb. Some things I tried, like 'put waterskin in pool', were not
valid, whilst others like 'drop waterskin in pool' were strangely okay. Don't
get it.
