Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow

Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow is an action adventure game about a young boy facing his sorrows. It was developed by indie studio Frozen Line and published by Ravenage Games.

Plot

The main protagonist of Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow is a little boy named Griffin. He is trapped in a hostile world, seemingly made up of his nightmares. With no other choice, he sets out on a journey during which he'll face his fears, discover the land's true nature and replace his sorrows with new feelings. He's not alone, being accompanied by a faithful friend - Birly the bear.

Mechanics

The gameplay of Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow is shown from various angles; depending on the scene, we'll see the main character from the side or from behind his back (TPP). Traversing the game's world, the player visits many locations such as beautiful plains, lush forests, dark caves or hovering castles.

Along the way we must jump on platforms, avoid traps and solve environmental puzzles; Griffin must operate different mechanisms or lift and carry heavy objects. He's assisted by Birly, who can reach some inaccessible places. We can control him directly or command him. Occasionally we'll also encounter nightmarish monsters; though usually Griffin and Birly must hide or run from them, sometimes they must face them head-on, for example, by chasing them away with a torch.

Technical aspects

Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow makes use of an appealing, colorful, cartoonish artstyle.
