    Note: Dreamcore will also be released on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. Sorry for forgetting to list those platforms in the video!

    This looks SPECTACULAR; one of the weirdest things I used to enjoy about my delivery job was seeing the insides of people's houses, especially those with more unusual decor, like the lady with lime green shag carpet, and a bonus film of lime flavor in the air... and probably scent, but I don't have a sense of smell, so I can't speak to that. Gonna wait until it's finished, but this sounds like it was made for me.

    This and POOLS are exactly what i wanted from a liminal space game

    Dreamcore reminds me so heavily of POOLS, I honestly thought they were one and the same until I saw the suburbia level. Thanks for the coverage! 💜

    I remember dreamcore was the earliest pool game on steam (in demo), but waited the longest to release an offcial version.

    dream core is a game i’ve been waiting for for a long time. idk it feels different than others and i absolutely love it

    Definitely the best back rooms game I’ve played and it’s for consoles too, which is great. Took me around three hours to beat the first level. It’s not linear like other back rooms games it’s actually a maze and maddening.

    I wish this maybe had 3 levels at release instead of 2 but what we got, I kind of love. Dreampools especially should be played in the dark with headphones on, really helps you “get” it. Not usually a fan of these back room/liminal space stuff but this was actually pretty great for what it is.

    I swear every backrooms liminal game is just a mad lib of empty rooms and office buildings and pools with random symbols and objects

    • @smaradav_
      @smaradav_ 11 дней назад +1

      To be fair, it nails the atmosphere of the backrooms (I dont know if your comment was negative or positive). A maddening labyrinth of corridors that should not extend near endlessly, yet they do. No cheap jumpscares, no over the top anything. It's all so good, I definitely reccomend it.
      The Eternal Suburbia 2nd part is my favourite right now, it combines the elements of liminal suburbs with backroom interiors and nonsensical architecture, plus it has 1-2 tiny hints that aid you in finishing that part. Mostly you're panicking while going in circles through rooms and rooms. (Or that was me at least).
      All in all I definitely recommend it. It's really a no bullshit liminal experience, and if you're into that, totally go for it!

      ​@@smaradav_ i dont get the appeal tbh. in real life, yes it would creep me the fuck out and i'd go mad. as a game though? it's really just a walking sim at this point. now if there was some kinda monster there (i know it's intended to be devoid of any life) it would be so much more tense cause i'm actually trying to get out asap before the monster finds me. with nothing in there hunting you though there's not even a reason for a sprint button since you can just chill while walking around.

      ​​@@buschilol8912 That's the thing, there is already so much low effort monster/Jumpscare backrooms games that this is one of the first polished backroom games that is just that, the tension is that feeling of loneliness, liminal spaces that can make pepole feel watched even though they are truly alone, if you want to play for cheap scares and low quality story's there are plenty of other backrooms games that fit your bill

  • @RicardoMenson
    @RicardoMenson 9 дней назад +8

    NGL i was expecting more levels on "release". Steam page says liminal places, plural, so they decided to "release" the game as soon as this statement is technically correct. Why can't they be honest and say it's early acess? Especially since one of 2 levels is pools, and we already have another Pools focused game, and that one is at least honest with what's on offer.

    I've never played a backrooms type of game before. This feels a bit empty but maybe that's the experience? I appreciate the review! 🤙🏻

    • @smaradav_
      @smaradav_ 11 дней назад +2

      Five, but only two are released currently (the pool rooms and Eternal Suburbia, both had free demos but the full levels are way longer). The other 3 chapters will be released every few months, the 5th will be released next year. The game's price will increase the more chapters release, but if you get the game now, youll get the lther chapters for free (it'll probably not increase much in price).
      I just watched the video and everything I said is in the video lmao, except the number of chapters, yes, five.

    Not to throw any accusations at the devs or anyone involved, but something feels kinda off. That whole system of it being a fully released game that I'm still supposed to treat like Early Access is mad suspicious. It's like they're trying to pressure me into getting the game now under threat of having to pay more when the game is actually finished. It's a tactic I strongly don't agree with for a game that is being treated as released, and when such pressure is exerted upon me, my instinct is to resist. So, I'm passing on this one. Maybe I'm just being an overly cautious weirdo, but it's my money and I try my best not to spend it on promises from people I have zero reason to trust.

    • @Roystbit

      Not like many other indie developers don't do this. More content = more money. Makes sense.

    Can I like your email? We are a game developer group and I would be happy if you could make a video of our game. Because the game is not supported at all!
