Reviews for "Alight (in dreams)"

made me almost cry.

I almost cryed when it got the farmhouse part because I used to hangout with a girl when I was 7 she was practicly my best friend, but she moved away, someday I want to meet her again, I highly doubt i'll see her again, If I did I would cry tears of joy and hug her.

I just wish you could meet anyone you want without a problem, with no catch, but sadly it will never happen.

I loved the game.

I just felt like sharing my sob story.

Starts off pretty good, but begins to drag.

First off, the design is fine, though I felt the audio was a bit sparse.

The story started off fairly interesting as I got to learn about the hero's childhood, but after about level 5 it started to feel less clear and interesting. While I had feelings of the state of apparent despair in the hero, it was no longer a clear narrative. I really felt that I lost a lot of connection and rapport with the hero as he drifted towards despair and perhaps a bit of feeling that the world is meaningless.

As for the gameplay, it was okay. The exploration and platforming was alright, but I felt that flight was rather clunky. Unless you have a directional gust, your character moves very slowly, and the fact that "flap" and "glide" are mapped on the same keys made parts of the game very frustrating and unnecessarily difficult. To elaborate, there were parts where I desired to glide in order to slow my descent, yet doing so forced me to spend my precious stamina. The worst parts were when I was limited in the amount of height I could achieve thanks to a low ceiling, forcing me to only shortly tap the space bar, which made it completely impossible to glide. Simply put, when I first found my wings I found it delightful to take to the skies, but the slow pace, the extremely limited stamina, and the inability to glide without flapping drained that.

Overall it's a good experience and even has some emotional impact, but it overstays its welcome thanks to its loss of a narrative and gameplay which stays just a bit too slow.

well made!

great theme, dreams, memories, regrets, emotions -- real things that real think about and live with. Dealt with in a poignant lucid manner. the exploration aspect countered by the dark return is a good touch. Music is touching as well. good aspect.

Hm.

Dreams of winged flight are a message.

ok game

the gameplay is ok but the story is all emotional and so boring. there were not many hard or challenging parts in the game. if this was a somehow an all emotional flash movie then it would've been great but as a game it sucks.
