    Overall a solid point and click game. Unique graphics style and a dark foreboding atmosphere make this a unique experience.

    The game is challenging and the story is interesting and involving ... so my personal enjoyment was somewhat spoiled by the unsatisfying ending.

    An admittedly wonderfully detailed passion project, but one that is mostly style over substance.

    The 8 long years it took to reach the end of this dreamy adventure seem unimportant now, gazing back to this intriguing and unique masterpiece of the two man team of Cockroach Inc. It is simply a must for all adventure gamers.

    The Dream Machine is a flawed, yet stunningly gorgeous game. The time and effort that went into it from such a small studio is mind-boggling, and every minute of it was well worth it from an aesthetic point of view.
