Dreams in the Witch House

There is so much on offer here, so much inspiration and inventiveness in how all aspects of the story, characters and game work together to build up a survival challenge for the player to overcome.

As a final note, while I will happily score the gameplay elements of Dreams in the Witch House a full ten, it has to be pointed out that some conditions for triggering gameplay elements can be a little frustrating at times.

As for the graphics, the game does a terrific job in depicting its settings, but this is also where I feel it suffers its greatest issues.

The soundscape with its jolly daytime music, brooding nighttime ambience and the my-heart-skipped-several-beats sound of a shattering lightbulb are absolutely perfect, and while initially not having any voice acting felt cheap, it makes a lot of sense considering the number of times an average player is likely to replay parts of the game.
