Dreaming Mary

Dreaming Mary is an original adventure game in a sidescrolling format, made using the free RPG Maker VX Ace Lite. It is inspired by the Japanese horror game Ib and the abstract game Yume Nikki, and is influenced by the indie platformer Eversion as well as the TV show Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. Despite these influences, Dreaming Mary is not exactly a horror game. It does contain horror elements, though they might never be encountered by a player who chooses to indulge in the dreams instead of investigating. The game's average playtime ranges from fifteen to twenty-five minutes to reach one ending, and there are four endings. In the game you are able to interact with items and NPCs. It is important to pay attention to dialogue and to your surroundings in order to proceed. Sound is vital in this game and can help the player move forward as well as provide hints to the situation Mary has found herself in.

Absolutely traumatizing, loved it. The plot, the style, the characters, the puzzles, everything. A piece of art, nothing less.

No está mal. Es creepy y poco más.

the best Animal Crossing creepypasta ever written

Dreamcore before it was mainstream

Really consistent in its art style, and a really unique art style at that. However, I will say, from what I can remember, I couldn't achieve the non-default ending without a walk through because of how unclear it was. That in and of itself isn't the worst thing in the world, but for how small the game is, and how short it all is, it does feel a bit unfinished. I played this a while ago though, so that may be clouding my vision.
