The Dream Machine's excellence comes from the combination of its distinctive artistic style, its excellent background music, and its authentic characters with well scripted dialogue. This game is an artistic marvel that was created over 7 years with tangible, physical sculptures that were then animated with computer software. You may need to look online for hints if you really get stuck, but do persist because the final chapter is astonishing.… Expand

   Wonderful and intriguing story about dreams in a point-and-click adventure with environments, objects and characters basically hand-made fromWonderful and intriguing story about dreams in a point-and-click adventure with environments, objects and characters basically hand-made from clay, divided by 6 chapters, each one granting like 3 hours of gameplay.
   
   The first 4 chapters was already launched, and despite some delay on bring us the fourth, it seems like the fifth is coming and the sixth will not last too much for coming too. I played the first 3 chapters, and so far i got any bugs unless the Steam layer that doesn't work.
   
   The puzzles are good enough, they're reasonable and you'll not have to try combinations of objects desperately trying to guess because of bad designing. You may found some difficult at the main/last puzzle of each chapter - they're hard, but not nonsensical.
   
   It is a collection of great and beautiful craftwork, but it doesn't try to stand by the art itself, being part of a very good story with solid gameplay, so it's a great game.
   
   If you're those who like point-and-click adventures, mostly with good stories, this is a game for you.… Expand

The puzzles are sufficiently challenging, the atmosphere just the slightest bit creepy, the characters painstakingly hand-made (and, on occasion, relatively freaky looking), the story/plot wonderful and last but not least, you can detect the subtle sense of humour the creators possess at certain parts.
   
   Sure, it can take awhile for chapters to be released and it really does make you impatient, but I think it's rather worth the wait. From what I've seen so far, the difficulty level increases slightly with each new chapter, which is great isn't it?
   
   In conclusion, if you're looking for a unique point-and-click with an intriguing plot without having to fork out very much money, The Dream Machine is a game well worth your consideration.… Expand

It's only downfall is the fact that it's a bit short atm. Even with 3 out of 5 chapters released I was able to play through it rather quickly (but not TOO quickly). It was really worth it thou and I am biting the bit waiting for the remaining chapters.… Expand

   Five Word Review: Crazy claymation adventure in dreamland.

   Favorite Thing: I've been a huge fan of claymation since The Nightmare Before Christmas. I've loved adventure games since Grim Fandango. It's a perfect match!
   Least Favorite Thing: The story got pretty messed up at the end. I didn't dislike it but it was a little too metaphysical for me.
