Dreams to Reality is a 1997 third-person action-adventure game developed and published by Cryo Interactive.[1] It was ported to the PlayStation under the title Dreams.
Gameplay and plot[edit]
From a third-person perspective, the player navigates the game world, gathering magic powers and weapons and finding friends.[2] Movement options include walking, flying and swimming.[1]
Players assume the role of protagonist Duncan, and explore surreal dream worlds while attempting to stop an evil group that seeks to control subconscious reality.
Development[edit]
While working on the game, producer/designer Olivier Denes commented, "The team is all gamers, but we're all different gamers, so in Dreams, you can do as you wish. I watched a woman play and she said, 'How wonderful, you can fly.' A man usually likes to pick a gun and shoot everything. We try to let people do things the way they like."[2]
Reception[edit]
While they praised the game's graphics, PC Gamer UK called the game "an unsatisfying mix of twee adventure, half-baked action" and platformer-style "running, jumping and dodging", and awarded it a score of 65/100.[1] Meristation thought the game was highly polished, memorable, and would appeal to fans of the genre.[3][4][5] Game.EXE gave the game a rating of 77%.[6] Level 06 gave it a rating of 8/10.[7] PC Powerplay deemed an "absolute stinker".[8] Gambler Magazine gave it 65%.[9] PC Games gave it a C.[10]
