Holy cow… things are starting to really pick up at school, and I’m in a little over my head right now… I have three papers due in the next week that I haven’t even started yet and a huge test in my Rhetoric class. In fact, I’m on my way now to go to a study group where we can all stare at each other and hope that someone has a clue what they are doing. So with all that going on, you’re probably wondering what I’m doing playing Dreamland…
It’s not my fault! Really… I just kind of have a thing for evil dwarf-like creatures, and you already know how I feel about abandoned amusement park themes. Besides… where else can I wear my magician’s hat and cape? What? Don’t you have one?
Anyhow, the point is, this game was too good to turn away from for just a silly old paper or two… Dreamland is just that… a dream!!! Well… ok, maybe if you were Lucy, and you dream of vampires and bats, but what I’m trying to say is that it’s a great game!
First, the story… apparently my little brother was romping around having fun without me at the amusement park and somehow signed a contract that delivered his soul to this creepy dwarf. He’s not too smart… sort of reminds me of my own darling sibling… anyhow… your job as big sister is to find the contract and destroy it, oh and also release the souls of all the other children this evil guy has enslaved over the years.
Dreamland can be challenging, which is why I thought it deserved my time in creating the walkthrough. It can be hard to figure out what to do next. One thing to keep in mind is that whenever a new mini-game opens up in an area, your map unfurls and shows the location, so keep an eye on that.
Graphics and sound all get a thumbs-up from me. The setting was perfect, and I really enjoyed the puzzles in this one. The hidden object games weren’t too challenging, although sometimes finding the secret object stumped me for a bit. Overall, don’t miss this game… it was super fun and definitely better than studying for a test… speaking of that test… gotta run!
