Dare to Dream

(Review for Dare to Dream: Game rip by Dream_catcher_house)

I'm glad I finished the Dare to Dream games because now I never have to play them again and can put them out of my mind. It wasn't entirely terrible, but it started with enough promise that the eventual descent into pixel-hunting annoyance felt even worse than it otherwise would have. If there had been a more compelling story to carry me through I might not have minded so much, but the games relied too much on the dream conceit to have things just happen without a reason or logic. Occasionally something would be pointed out--the newspaper was apparently Tyler's feelings about his paper route--but otherwise we were just performing bizarre tasks for an uncertain reward with nothing really to look forward to other than the next puzzle beyond that. Just like real life. photo cripes.001.gif
