These emotional bonds work like metaphorical buffs, allowing Cassidy to equip “Influences” that empower her to face her nightmares. As they tell stories, share anecdotes, give out advice and seek it from Cassidy, her relationships with them will grow stronger. As an isometric roguelite hack and slasher, it’s fast-paced and challenging but then after each “death” or the defeat of boss, Cassidy will wake up in her bedroom, where she can craft gifts for the townsfolk infused with positive emotions like inspiration and solace, which you collect in the dream world.Īs you frequent the various hotspots in the town (a café, bookstore, bar and park) Cassidy will meet and get to know a handful of individuals who she can present with gifts or indulge with in idle chit chat. It’s a pairing that probably shouldn’t work, but which Afterburner handle deftly. If you dropped DONTNOD’s Life is Strange into a blender with Hades, Dreamscaper is the smoothie you’d end up drinking. It follows Cassidy, a young girl living alone in a new town who, as a way to cope with her deep depression, spends her nights fighting through lucid nightmares to recall her lost memories, and spends her days and evenings trying to make human connections with those around her. Originally slated for a release earlier in 2020, it’s just hit Steam Early Access with a Nintendo Switch version planned for some point before the end of the year. Dreamscaper is a new isometric roguelite from indie devs Afterburner Studios.
