You find yourself in an unfamiliar environment, going through obstacles. Slowly, you're realizing that it's all simply just a dream.
When I downloaded Simply A Dream, I expected a cute, pixelated platformer, not a complete philosophical dismantling of my perception of reality. Since playing, I’ve started to question if my life has always been a badly designed dream sequence filled with inexplicable obstacles and oddly placed spikes. Honestly, the similarities are uncanny.
Each night, as I drift into sleep, I now see myself as a low-res character endlessly jumping from platform to platform, searching for meaning—or at least a better pixel artist. The beautifully minimalist graphics remind me of my emotional depth -barely there, yet somehow strangely compelling.
My therapist insists the game is a metaphor. I’m not sure for what, exactly, but ever since I mentioned it, she’s booked twice-weekly sessions and purchased a new boat.
In short, Simply A Dream has reshaped my life, my dreams, and apparently my therapist's vacation plans. Highly recommend.
