337 5 A game that captures the logic of dreams perfectly
I’ve never played a game that so effortlessly illustrates what it’s like to be in a dream. While the puzzles are completely illogical, they’re perfect and you’ll think to yourself “Wow, if I was dreaming, this would make tons of sense!”

I really love what Psychosomnium does. It makes you think and care for the characters. Characters you’re hardly even introduced to!

Even the plot manages to PERFECTLY illustrate dream logic. It’s never really explained, but everyone seems to know what’s going down. Situations quickly change and you’re simply thrust into them without much explanation.

The only thing that could possibly make this game better would be longer length. It’s incredibly short, but hey! With dreams you never know!
