I am at a loss for words as far as what is going on in Dreamscaper, but this is one of those games that presumably takes place in your mind. I mentioned in my Fracter review that games based on mental health could be a great new genre of video games. Dreamscaper is definitely an interesting offering, as it tries to create an interesting premise for a game as dreams and reality merge together.
I found it odd that in order to play the game, the tutorial shows you what to do while playing a game. It is an interesting way to learn how to move and attack, and from there, you enter into this weird dreamscape the appears to be an ordinary neighborhood.
So what is going on? It looks like something like a dungeon crawler, with the goal being to open up new areas. There are all kinds of attacks that you can use, not to mention a storyline for the main character that you play, Cassidy.
Cassidy is stuck in a world where she builds relationships in the real world and can unlock a map there. Then in the dream world, you go through a dungeon, even facing bosses there. These bosses represent a lot of real-world feelings like isolation, fear, negativity, and much more.
