11th Dream

Remember all those mid to late 90s 3D 3rd person action games? When level designers were still figuring out how to help players not get lost in their creations and hide secrets that will be fun and rewarding to look for? When programmers were experimenting with capabilities of early 3D hardware, coming up with hacks and tricks to get more interesting visuals? 11th Dream is trying to bring back and improve upon those games in the same way as pixel art games today build on ideas from the 80s. It is a very interesting idea, but it is not for everyone. Pros: [list] [*]Wild visuals! Definitely play in well lit room. [*]One hour time limit for story campaign, in the spirit of the original Prince of Persia. [*]Difficult situations that require use of terrain, correct choice of weapons, and generally stacking odds in your favor by being clever and skilled. [*]Music.

You can tell this was made by a studio composed by fine arts students. The game relly looks unique, very weird tron-alignd visuals that drop hard so for that visual experience alone it is well worth your time. Takes place in the AI Metaverse with very straightforward gameplay. Pulsating vibes!

I had a dream. I actually had ten dreams... and then one more. What made the last one different is hard to describe in words. One just need to experience it in order to fully grasp it. As many of my dreams tend to do, it drew from the pool of my old memories - Quake III: Arena barely running on my grandfather's computer, Blade Runner on a VHS, long lost as a tear in rain, a file called matrix.avi on a CD you've just borrowed from a friend. I would have dismissed it as another simulacra praying on my nostalgia, and there are many of those, watch out for them! But there was something more here. It did not glide smoothly over the surface, it went deeper, resonating with the memories no other dared to touch. Uncompromising, rough and contemplative. It's a dream worth dreaming if you dare. Don't be repelled by its crude form, because the form is the key to a unique experience.
