Summary

Prom Dreams is a freeware romance/horror adventure game created with RPG Maker VX Ace.

You are Kyle Mason, a soft-spoken, popular senior at the elite St. Giles Academy. After a traumatic breakup with a girl from his old school, Kyle is eager to move on with his life - and his senior prom, he believes, will be the perfect opportunity to do just that.

With the help of his nosy best friend and the rest of the school, Kyle must win the hands and hearts of one of three girls: the cute, bubbly junior, Neela Devar, the brash basketball MVP, Maggie Pham, or the cool, intelligent class leader, Brooke O’Keefe. It’s up to you to ensure the perfect prom night!

Or… is it?

Prom Dreams features:

-A combination of light-hearted dating sim antics and cerebral, puzzle-based horror gameplay (Think Tokimeki Memorial meets Corpse Party.)
-An original story with multiple routes and endings
-An (almost) entirely original soundtrack
-Subtle changes to the game environment as the horror slowly unfolds
-Three unique sidequests
-Multiple unique death/Game Over scenes
-A hint system for struggling players, contingent upon getting Game Overs
-A total of 9-13 hours of gameplay. (Yes, really. Trust me on this one.)

Important note: As a horror game, Prom Dreams will contain scenes of graphic violence, sudden noises, and other disturbing content. It is NOT recommended for the faint of heart or anyone under the age of 16.

Having just finished this game with the best ending (no thank you on the other ones, I'm good), I feel it'd be a crime not to leave a review. So here we go.

Hoo boy, what an experience. I haven't played a game that enveloped me in such a story - and an ending that made me cry - since Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. (Hey, that rhymed)

But...wow, that was seriously one of the best RPG Maker games I've ever played. I absolutely loved how well you fused the dating sim and horror genres together. (The Haunting events were awesome too, but I couldn't get the Loop 3 2F Elevator event to work. Perhaps, instead of being random from when you enter a room, events like that and the gym events could instead have been triggered by standing still for a certain time? I don't know, it's already amazing on its own, and I did see the event compilation, so...eh).

By the way, I went for each of the girls in the order they were arranged on the title screen. I know you're meant to choose whoever you want in whatever order, and the general story doesn't change too much for it, but would you mind telling me what you picked, when playing through the game yourself?

Finally, if there were to be a "Golden Ending," I'd say it'd be something along the lines of "|Spoilers| sends Kyle back in time before the whole shebang even starts - maybe even before he transfers to St. Giles"...which would make for a pretty sweet visual novel, now that I think about it. Particularly if it's before Serena's accident...

(SPOILERS)



or maybe right after, when she's in the hospital, and Kyle choosing to stay with her gives her the very POWER TO CHEAT DEATH ITSELF, BECAUSE WHO THE HELL DOES IT THINK SHE IS!?



(*ahem*) Sorry, I've been listening to a lot of Super Robot Wars music (to the point where I was fully expecting Kyle to go all "Heroic Second Wind" during Prom Night and beat the **** out of You-Know-Who.

But, all in all, and ignoring my ramblings, this is an absolutely FANTASTIC game, one that I would recommend to...okay, well, not everyone, but to at least a lot of people.

9.9/10

I would pay for a REAL dating sim with these girls...even with You-Know-Who and |Spoilers|.

Keep making great games, and have a wonderful day!

Ahh thank you for this lovely comment!! There's actually a way to submit formal reviews with a star rating that will actually boost a game's visibility on here a bit more, so the next time you review a game you may want to use that function instead :D

I've played through every combination imaginable during testing and post-release for streams and stuff, tbh. You kind of have to in order to make sure everything works :D;;;

Re: Endings:

That would be an interesting idea for an alternate universe story! I primarily didn't want to do anything like that because I wanted to emphasize the permanency of Dolores' actions. That, and she doesn't have much control over time in the real world, just inside her little pocket dimension, so yeah |D;;;


I do want to let you know that I do have another game in the works, though I see you've been lurking my tumblr so you may already know that |D;;; I hope you enjoy that one as much as Prom Dreams!
OMG!! I REALLY LOVED THAT BRAZILLIAN LETTER REFERENCE! I REALLY GLAD THAT YOU PUT MY LANGUAGE INTO YOU GAME!! :D :D KISSES FROM BRAZIL (srry bad grammar and late comment)

Thanks!! I'm glad you appreciated it :) Hope you enjoyed the rest of the game just as much!
As someone who is making a horror video game themselves, I want to know the methods you used when writing out the plotlines and paths of your story-driven game. Like how you detailed your plot, side quests, dialogue, character development, etc.

I'm aware that the horror game I'm making would come out differently than yours. But some tips are always helpful. I'm curious if you can use one of the paths in the game as an example? That's up to you. If not, I'll stick to tips and tutorials that have helped you.

For the most part I just had a couple of documents to roughly guide me and wrote all of the dialogue in-engine (hence why there's probably STILL typos floating around to this day...). One of my documents was solely dedicated to characters, where I wrote down their characteristics, backstory, and roles in the game. My other big document was a rough outline of how the game would flow, which would have bullet point lists of events that would happen on Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, etc. I had a separate section outlining the optional sidequests. I also had another document listing all of my ideas for the "spooky" events in each map you see later in the game IIRC (it's been 4 years... lol). Once I outlined everything, I went into the engine and wrote the dialogue/created the cutscenes in more detail, mostly because I find it easier to fine tune specific details when the limits of the engine are already present, as opposed to writing everything separately and realizing "oh, crap, this isn't going to work with the map I've made" or "I have to rewrite this because it doesn't parse in the text boxes the way I need it to". Hope this helps and good luck with your game!
