Overall really great throwback to the classics. The writing and puzzle design is solid throughout and the dream mechanic is a fun addition that stops things ever feeling too stagnant or repetitive. The voice acting is also very solid. My only complaint is that the character design was a little lacking in quality compared to the backgrounds and animation but since the game has a pretty breezy, light tone the characters being a bit mismatched and goofy looking didn't really detract from the experience.

Lucy Dreaming is one of the most unusual and imaginative point and click adventures I’ve played in a long time. It blends real darkness with light, witty humor in a way that feels both surprising and strangely comforting. Lucy’s distant parents, her brother’s unsettling experiments on stuffed and living animals, and her recurring nightmares all create a world that could have been heavy, yet Lucy herself approaches everything with resilience and charm. The game’s standout feature is its puzzle structure. Progress depends on moving between three layers of experience: reality, dream, and nightmare. Each dream has its own logic and items, which can only be used inside the nightmare. Learning how to navigate these three interconnected spaces to resolve each nightmare feels both fresh and clever, and I haven’t seen many games attempt something quite like it. And even though this multilayered world can feel confusing at first, everything eventually comes together in a wonderfully coherent way. Most puzzles are inventive and satisfying, though some are quite challenging. One puzzle (the organ puzzle) was completely beyond me even after reading the explanation, but the rest of the game strikes a good balance between creativity and fair difficulty. The writing and characters are another highlight. The world is full of odd, memorable personalities, and the humor lands consistently. One of the funniest segments involves two futuristic devices in the local library, both produced by a company called S.A.T.A.N – Self-Aware Textbook Arrangement Networks. One device serves as an AI-based local newspaper archive, and the other is a telepathic book-lending interface. Completely absurd and absolutely hilarious. My only real disappointment was the ending. Even in its revised form it felt not only emotionally flat, but also rushed and ultimately unsatisfying. Without going into spoilers, there is a narrative choice involving Lucy’s memories that made our whole journey with her feel less meaningful, even if it conveniently resolves things for her character. I appreciate the developer’s willingness to revisit the ending based on player feedback, but for me it still didn’t land. Despite that, Lucy Dreaming remains a standout adventure full of heart, originality, and charm. I’ve already tried the demo for Heir of the Dog, the studio’s next title, and it’s clear they have something genuinely special to offer the point and click genre. Highly recommended, especially for players looking for something clever and unexpected.

Solid, classic p&c adventure game in glorious pixel art. Gripping story! Voice acting is good, only the protagonist was getting on my nerves now and then, but no biggie. Looking forward to their upcoming game, Heir of the Dog.

BottomLine at the Top: Hi yes remember me? The guy that plays P&C games? Yes I still play them. Yes this is a good one to play ;) Intro: There needs to be more P&C's in general, but especially ones with British humor. This game cracked me up. Pros: -Starts Right up, zero bugs or issues during game play -Classic LucasArts style -Funny as F*$&, excellent Brit humor -This is random, but I love P&C's with rainy scenes in them, idk what it is but whenever I see it I get all content inside. Maybe its gas? -Def an original story. -Lots to point and click on. Appreciate the detailed descriptions for most clickable areas as well. Not too much generic messages like "I Can't"/"That doesn't make sense"/"Stop clicking the badger glass eye on everything" -This is what i would also describe as a "cozy" adventure. -Lots of classic P&C game references. -Fully voiced acted by professional voice actors -Has a roland/adlib music mode lol -Diary todo list keeps track of objectives -Object/hotspot highlight identifier functionality Meh...: -There is a lot of back and forth in this game. Some sequences end up being tedious to get through. -I had about 7.5 hours in this game....spread out over the course of :::checks notes:::... TWO YEARS?!?!? Jesus I work too much. Anyway I really try not to ride developers too hard over the cost of their indy P&C games, especially for as polished a one as this. That being said I do know that the current $19USD will put off some of my fellow afficionados. To them I say its def worth it if you see it on sale. -Some people might think this is a family game based on the character and branding. Its not. I wasn't looking for one so no biggy to me but some people might not catch that right away. -Only 12 save slots. Again not a deal breaker but I prefer infinite. -I only managed to get 3 achievements during my playthough, i think there is like 14. I probably won't go back to find them. Cons: -Near the ending there's this weird tonal shift. The ending itself feels almost like it should have been in a different game. Final Thoughts: A great P&C that hits all the nostalgia points. Ya the ending's a little...blah. But you know what, I've come to the conclusion that its really hard to make endings for great P&C games. Its not an excuse, but I understand. Overall though this was def a fun one and I'd recommend it to all my fellow P&C afficionados.
