Misplaced Dream Darkness is an journey recreation developed by Morning Shift Studios and revealed by Final Video games. Sadly, there isn’t a lot to this recreation, so buckle up for a brief overview.
I wished to take pleasure in this recreation as a result of who doesn’t need to play as an lovely fox? However, sadly, this recreation is empty. You play an unnamed fox looking for the sunshine with out a lot of a narrative to direct you. I don’t essentially thoughts this as a result of the sport’s description states, “Misplaced Dream Darkness tells a silent story a couple of world eaten up by a sudden darkness.” I suppose you should use your creativeness and fill within the blanks about what world we’re in, what the darkness is, the place it got here from, and why.
Nonetheless, with the dearth of story, there was additionally a scarcity of course. The sport begins by dropping your fox character right into a darkish space. It doesn’t clarify the controls to you (except you open the menu), and it doesn’t let you know what your objective is. There are two buttons, however solely three are used: transfer your fox, transfer the digital camera, soar, and assault. There are zero enemies, so that you by no means have to assault something. The truth is, you hardly ever want to leap.
For instance, I died within the first space as a result of I didn’t understand I had gone over a ledge into the water. Misplaced Dream Darkness doesn’t have hit factors or lives, so I respawned once more originally. Nonetheless, I then discovered that I couldn’t go into the water. On the finish of the primary space, you’ll want to soar right into a pool of water, which spawns you in the course of a lake in space two. It made no sense that I might solely go into the water when the sport wanted me to, however there was no indication to take action.
Anyway, that’s all there’s to the sport. You progress your fox by way of the 5 completely different areas, every getting brighter than the final. There isn’t a lot to take a look at or discover. You merely go from level A to level B. The graphics have been nothing particular. Nonetheless, the soundtrack contained ambient rain and nature noises. I take pleasure in these sounds, so the music will get an A+ from me.
I believed the ending would give me a fast boss battle since I by no means received the possibility to assault something. Nonetheless, when your fox reaches the tip, the sport merely ends. No credit roll; it brings you again to the principle menu. And voila, you’re accomplished with the sport inside twenty minutes.
Will I ever flip Misplaced Dream Darkness on once more? No. Do I see potential if the builders ever toss just a few enemies or hazards? Sure. Sadly, this recreation doesn’t have sufficient to make me care about its silent story or protagonist.
