Dreaming Mary Review

May I serve to propose an argument on the contrary? You point out that the rape elements are not the core of the story, but I believe they are. Almost all elements of the graphics, story and gameplay point towards the sexual implications of her out-of-dream world, and if anything the rape is the centre of the story for those who wish to look deeper than surface level. I don't think that rape is overused in games at all, but perhaps that is because I haven't been exposed to the gaggle of Japanese games with Freudian influence, like Catherine, which I plan to play at the point I get a console. But overall I think this theme wasn't tacked on as an afterthought, but rather she catered the puzzles and the various characters around this fact. The 3 characters that precede the father are probably characters from her real life that serve as support but nevertheless do not have the power nor insight to deal t'th ctuaproblem that they know is happening. It's actually kind of tragic and mirrors real life skilfully. So I think the meaning is potent. As we are the support around children, sometimes we can never know what goes on behind doors, and if we are the support system, we should ask ourselves if it is our job to stop that happening. I believe it is.

Edit: After rereading my critique, I feel it probably comes off as a little trite, but I still can firmly place myself on the side that Dreaming Mary did not overstep its bounds regarding the rape label, and I don't think the inclusion of such a character backstory invalidates the art.

Let's work on your game descriptions!

author=Theodoric
Title:Eremidia Dungeon: Skyward Temple
Alternative Title: Another Eremidia Dungeon
Codename: AED/ED:ST (usually mentioned as AED)
Developer: Theodoric/TheoAllen
Genre: Dungeon Crawler/RPG
(Planned) Playtime: Approx. ~2-3hrs

This is a simple short story about three young people who bravely explore an unexplored ruin called the "Skyward Temple". It is an abandoned temple known well as the Temple of the Dragons, and is located in the Eastern Realm of Eremidia. In order to capture the high-value artifact "Skyglyph", our party recklessly enters the temple. Can you help them retrieve the Skyglyph?

This game is not an exercise in complex storytelling. I'm not an expert writer, so I'm keeping it simple. Instead, this is an exercise to provide gameplay based on my Theolized Sideview Battle System.

If you have ever played Eremidia: Dungeon!, this game has very many similarities, such as: flame encounters; limited visibility; enemy naming; accessory naming. The location is not the exact same place, but the story is still based in the same continent.

Features:
  • Sideview Battle System - This isn't the Tankentai system, nor Victor, nor is it Symphony or any other systems that currently exist made by other people. I built this custom system myself from scratch, and it is comparable to other famous animated battle system scripts out there.
  • Free Turn Battles - The actor will instantly act as you execute commands.
  • Dynamic Victory Aftermath - Victory quotes are based on certain prerequisite conditions.
  • Limited Visibility - Lighting effects that add the atmosphere of a dungeon crawler.
  • Explore the dungeon from Levels ((1-1)) >> ((5-3))
  • Fight the boss on each floor!
  • Discover hidden accessories!
  • Bestiary menu - See monster weaknesses and statistics!
  • Statistics menu - Display your overall progression in the game!
  • Skill Cooldown - Restricts the ability to execute the same skill twice!
  • Action Points (AP) instead of MP. Don't be worried to ever run out of MP!
  • Fast Paced Battles -- Enemies will deal huge damages, but you will also have the ability to heal your characters quickly!
  • Encounter unique enemies -- Each enemy has its very own pattern and weakness!

This game was actually complete, but I reverted the status back to being "In Progress" just to make changes to some parts of this game.

I would recommend posting the game as an actual download link using the gamepage's format. Otherwise, I might play this. Do you include the RTP? Because the filesize is quite large.

Fidchell will stream your games!
