  Indulge yourself in a cleverly crafted and always chuckle worthy point and click adventure which evokes the halcyon days of the genre all the while charting its own course.

  Lucy Dreaming is a point-and-click adventure game in which you play as a young girl whose determination to end her nightmares sends her on an investigation of a decade-old murder. With its quirky sense of humor and pixel art style, Lucy Dreaming tells a very fun and interesting story that is bound to keep you playing for hours.

  Lucy Dreaming will run about eight to ten hours, and although the game's eventual conclusion falls a bit short, this time spent still mostly feels worthwhile. Despite this lackluster final plot beat and occasional elements of tedium, Lucy Dreaming overall comes off as incredibly charming thanks to its fun pixel style, entertaining and fully-voiced characters, and creative puzzle mechanics.

  The characters all feel like real people with unique personalities. Lucy is an excellent example of this. She's such a fun and lively character that I imagine Dennis the Menace would heartily approve of her.

  Lucy Dreaming tells a compelling, concise story filled with wit and hilarity, kept me invested with a juicy mystery, and hooked me with its fantastic execution of the sarcastic adventure game protagonist trope. It never feels like a one-trick pony, and it’s a masterclass in knowing when to surprise with a sudden change in mood or shocking reveal.
