The Dream Machine: Chapter 1 and 2
August 02, 2025 Filed in: Video Games
After playing The Walking Dead, it will be extremely difficult to find another adventure game I like nearly as much. Regardless, I decided to give The Dream Machine a try. The game is split up into six chapters. I currently have only the first two chapters, which are described on the web page:
I finished the first two chapters and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Its artwork was quite different, primarily using clay and cardboard to model the characters and environments. One positive was that the difficulty wasn't excessive to cause too much frustration. I'm tempted to buy the rest of the chapters to see how the story ends. I have so many other games in my library, however. For now, I am going to move on to something I already own.
The Dream Machine is an award-winning point & click adventure game about exploring other people’s dreams. It’s built by hand using materials such as clay, cardboard & broccoli. In Chapter 1 you play Victor Neff, the husband of a young couple who’ve just moved into a new apartment. While trying to get settled in you discover that all is not as it seems in the quiet, unassuming apartment building… In Chapter 2, Victor goes to confront the landlord, Mr. Morton, only to find his apartment empty. Can Victor find the elusive landlord in time and is there more to Mr. Morton than meets the eye?
