Hasn't left my mind for a day since I finished it. Despite being a small freeware game made by a single person, this is one of the best depictions of dreaming that I've ever experienced in a game. Its loose structure that pretty much forces you to walk around aimlessly and just take in all of the art/music creates this disorienting feeling that's beautifully complimented by the game's presentation. Sure a lot of the areas have the same pieces of art sprawled over and over and most of the songs are just 2-5 second loops, but those qualities help build the game's atmosphere and suspense perfectly.

It's also such a creative way to build the narrative of a character. We can learn so much about our protagonist despite not a single word of dialogue being spoken throughout the game. It's truly one of a kind and has never been recreated despite the plethora of fan games/games heavily inspired by it.
