Dreamweb is a dark, brooding game set in a dystopian near-future. You play
Ryan, a bartender who is plagued by nightmares in this cyberpunk inspired adventure
game. These nightmares eminate from the dreamweb, which affects the plane of your
subconscious. The web has been corrupted by the presence of seven controlling
figures and your job is to kill them, cleanse the web and save the world from
madness. Considerable attention is paid to the game's atmosphere, but the value of
a strong narrative is overlooked. The dialogue is functional rather than enjoyable.
Puzzles have logical solutions, but the fact that you can pick up almost everything
makes the solutions obscure at times. A prime example of style over content, but
definitely worth a look for its gripping plot and very atmospheric gameplay. There's
also a controversial and one of the earliest uncensored sex scenes in a mainstream
PC game. |
