    There are contemplative moments of compassionate beauty throughout that will stick with me for a long time to come, purely because they made me question my own relationships and how I want so badly to love and help my family in spite of their many flaws. Nice Dream has crafted a truly original narrative adventure here that will likely have a nuanced impact on everyone who plays it, and that alone makes it a triumph worth celebrating.

    Goodnight Universe is a fantastic take on the "interactive story" genre. It features a beautiful story, a great cast of characters, and a beautiful art style. Even if the gameplay is limited, the few segments that are present only add to the strength of the narrative, as you get to step into the world of a psychically-powered baby and all that entails. At such a small price and with a short runtime, Goodnight Universe is great if you're looking to immerse yourself in a science-fiction look at the wonder of childhood.

    Goodnight Universe provides a short but memorable experience, wrapping up in about 4 hours while leaving a lasting impression. The game immerses players in the magical world of childhood, giving them powers they’ve likely always dreamed of. Its creativity and artistic design make it a title well worth experiencing.

    On the face of it, Goodnight Universe is a far-fetched, comedic tale about a baby with telekinetic powers. But really, this is a very touching tale about love and familial bonds. For fans of narrative-driven adventures, this is not to be missed.

    Gameplay is virtually non-existent in Goodnight Universe, with overly simplistic puzzles that drag down the experience. Nevertheless, its story is touching and supported by solid voice acting. It’s commendable how effectively the developers convey the world through the perspective of an infant child.
