I’ll be honest! I know nothing about The Dream Machine. The one article in the database is a little sparse. I need a little more before considering a vote.

It is one of those adventures you know how proud you are to love in this genre once you have finished it, it is more on the psychological side, even creepy sometimes, but let us say it is a serious adventure, with no humor nor silliness.. puzzles are fair but due its long production, the real puzzles we crave for don’t start before Ep.3..

No voice acting but it has an option for narration with a single voice for all, it is very well crafted, with amazing claymation presentation, but again keep in mind it gets better, can’t be judged on the 1st Ep alone.

I see it’s on sale and I haven’t done a playthrough with anybody in a while, so I’m sort of interested in this as well. how is the narration overall? is it good or become tiresome? Because I’m usually one that loves to have voice acting and not just text.

Where? I looked at GOG and Steam a few days ago, and didn’t see a price drop.

I just looked at Steam and it’s 20% off if you buy the entire game aka all episodes at once.

I don’t know the word for it, sorry, like the Google translator voice reading all the texts, that’s what I mean

Thanks, I watched a couple of reviews on YouTube for it and while it seems somewhat interesting, I don’t think it would be for me.

I didn’t mind the lack of voices at all.

I’d like to join a play through of “The Dream Machine”.  I’m a good bit of the way thru Chapter 2 already, and finding it fairly interesting and well made.

The price on GOG and Steam is the same, $19.95. Steam just says it has reduced the price 20% as opposed to what you would pay if you bought each episode individually. Who would do that? 

Chalk up another vote the game. Although I will wait and see if there might be a price drop come game time. GOG is my preferred source anyway.

Spring sale on Steam just dropped the full game to $4.95USD:

Add me as a vote for that price!

Tim, I’m not sure if “chalk it up” is a vote or not.
