User reviews & Ratings

Dreamcore is one of many Liminal Space/Backrooms games, but it does something very different from most of the others. In many Backrooms games, you’re being chased by monsters and given clear objectives you have to complete in order to escape. Dreamcore does none of that. Instead you can choose one of four levels and simply explore the liminal space, no monsters, no jumpscares. Just you, the emptiness, and the loneliness. The levels truly feel endless, making it incredibly easy to get lost or disoriented. This was something I experienced for the first time in a Backrooms /Liminal Space game. The maps are unbelievably huge, and that’s exactly what I love about this game. You can spend hours in a single level without making any real progress. There are small tasks you need to complete to escape, but you have to discover them on your own. And best of all: Fren will always be with you, no matter which level you are in ;) I will now go into more detail about the individual levels, so stop reading here if you want to avoid spoilers. DREAMPOOLS This level is a massive pool complex. I personally had to restart multiple times because I got lost every single time. I really liked that you first have to find the flashlight to access the basement. The achievement hunting was also great, you have to find certain objects to unlock them, which added a lot of fun. ETERNAL SUBURBIA A huge field filled with houses. I actually had to look up a guide for this one because I was stuck for a very long time and completely lost my sense of direction. Once you finally escape the field, things become easier. My favorite part here was the transitions between the different “worlds.” PLAYROOMS My absolute favorite level. This one brought back a lot of nostalgia, and I loved that the Freddy Fazbear meme was included. Of course, I was always on the lookout for Fren! My ultimate enemy here was the maze! I spent most of my time in it. It was pure hell… but in the end, I honestly loved it. LIMINAL HOTEL This was the fastest level for me to complete. You mainly just have to find the elevators to reach the ground floor. What made me happiest was Frens return as a balloon <3 The lobby music was fantastic and added a lot to the overall atmosphere. FUTURE CONTENT The fifth and final level is so far not released, once its released i will come back with an review for it.

I WISH I could leave a neutral review. And no, it's not the "WhY nO eNtItIeS?" type of complaint. Believe it or not, I feel like the target audience for this game . No monsters, no deaths, just explore and vibe with the place. Sounds like something I'd definitely enjoy, right? *Beep* WRONG. I like the idea, the graphics are nice, and many places look fantastic (I was screenshotting the hell out of them). But it's not for everyone EVEN if you enjoy liminal spaces exploration games . I'm not trying to say it's just bad , and it seems the game's fanbase consists of people who actually like what I don't. So it's fine, I guess it's a "me" problem. But still, there's something you should know. Yes, it's THAT huge and confusing. It's the most confusing liminal space game I've ever played. And not in a good way, at least for me. One must argue it makes for a "genuine backrooms experience", but I think there's a line to be drawn. It's like you wouldn't enjoy playing a life simulator which actually expects you to spend 8 real-life hours a day working as your character. Yeah it's "genuine", but simply not fun . I think the main problem is not the size, but the sameness of the maps, and the fact all of them are mazes. Even level 94. You enter a new zone and think it's beautiful, but the fun quickly wears off as you realize you can't find your way to the next one. So you spend hours (literally) navigating the same hallways you've now grown to hate. Nothing new, you've DEFINITELY seen this goddamn horse before, and you still can't find [certain_object] because it's placed in a tiny-tiny pass-through room you somehow always miss. You consider drawing a map, but realize it would take even more time than wandering aimlessly and testing your luck. Eventually you FINALLY progress to a new zone. You slow down for mere minutes to appreciate it, but then the cycle repeats itself. By the time you realize the game is PROBABLY not for you, the 2-hour mark has long passed, and you can't even refund it. The only thing left is to proceed, because, welp, you own the game now, so you may as well finish it. P.S. "But it DOES say it's "no guides, no direction, and no escape"!" Yeah and so does every other backrooms game.

First off, you should really consider if a game like this is right for you. If you really enjoy liminal spaces and walking simulators, in addition to a more "art gallery" style of game, then you'll love this title. This game does have very valid criticisms, most notably the performance being worse than the demo and the lack of an FOV slider. These issues 100% need addressing. That said, the people criticizing the game for being "mindless wandering", or for sprinting not being the default movement strike me as laughably goofy. What did you expect? Is your entire drive simply to see how fast you can reach the credits? Why not ask for a mini-map and compass, too? If you've wanted a liminal/backrooms experience that doesn't involve running from monsters/jumpscares, this game and Pools are the best available. The level designs are extremely high quality, and I found it fun to simply wander through them. The levels are also enormous , meaning you will inevitably get lost along the way. Despite that, there are often subtle hints that nudge the player in the appropriate direction and there are also fairly frequent checkpoints, so having to leave mid level isn't an issue. You're not running from anything in this game. There's no danger, no threat. There's no urgency. There isn't even an objective beyond "find the exit". This game has no fail-state. It's pure atmosphere, and it does it exceptionally well. Wandering is precisely what you're meant to do!

First off: I honestly don't think anyone who has played for under 3 hours, has actually /played/ this game. This isn't something you finish quickly, or enjoy fully if you rush through it. It's meant to be enjoyed and savored. TL;DR - **THIS IS A WALKING SIMULATOR!** You no likey Walking sims -- you no buy. Simple as that. For those who enjoy these game types - it's perfect for you - especially if you enjoy The Backrooms. ALL THE WORDS!: Dreamcore is a wonderful walking simulator that is perfectly creepy, and deliciously eerie. There are different levels for different backrooms lore. I personally was really tripped out by Endless suburbia since a lot of the layouts mimicked homes I've been in. Each level has its own little feel to it - and seems to advance in things you have to do to get out of each place. The pools, you just walk and get a flashlight, Suburbia you have two objectives, and then The Playrooms has several. I really liked that a lot. It didn't take away from the feeling of the game at all, and actually added to it. Kind of like the Backrooms challenging you as you progress. Usually, I am turned off by games like this when they set objectives - but these devs did it /right/. You can't run around like a chicken with your head cutoff, either. You have to plan. Double back, and double-back again. Be mindful of all the details, and don't get angry. 8/10 - wonderful and fun. I just wish there was more content. More is promised, but I don't trust anyone anymore. That's not the fault of the developers of this game, but just the world as a whole right now.

Warning that, though mild, and few and far between, there ARE in fact jumpscares in this game. So if you're super sensitive to that sort of thing, keep that in mind.
