I’m working on an dreamcore game but i’m making different as possible of the normal standards of dreamcore roblox developing, My game is not an dreamcore game that is third person, and neither is an game that doesn’t have an story!
Basically my game is inspired on games such as like “Dreamcore” and others.
My game has an lore and is about an guy called “John” or “Johnathan” [Sorry if spelled it wrong.]
“John” is an 13 year old kid that is being deceived by his uncle and dad that are both company CEO’s.
The Uncle and Dad are CEO’s of companies that make hallucinogenic experiments on their workers
but for the Uncle it makes experiments at “John” and “John” has schizophrenia and his Uncle swapped his medicines with the wrong ones that makes the literally opposite of the normal medicine
And for that John had an collapse and got to an elevator on the building that he was and noclipped into an dreamcore-world.
If you wanna play, remember that the game only have 14 Levels! and its gonna have atleast 50 at the end of the year.
If you played i want to know:
How does the atmosphere feel?
Does the game looks immersive or good?
Do you have any thoughts regarding , level design, lighting, lore or sound design?
Reminder: Game is on Alpha at the moment
For the controls:
L – Turns Flashlight On/ Off [Remembering that i’m trying to make an different game so i want to make it differnt from other games and also the game is not in the horror genre, and it doesnt cointain monsters, i just want you to have an good experience and i just feel that L is the most better Key for me."
Shift – Sprints.

→ Also is the New Game thingy just supposed to be play since it doesn’t directly put you into one?
Story
Feels very broad and unstructured, and the dialogue is really small and glitches/shakes up a lot during typewriting, There’s no initial build up except the boy took his pills, left the house and is still hallucinating? I’m sorry I haven’t played the game fully, its not that interesting to find out what happens from the story since there are no obstacles, you just run to the next door.
Scripting Wise
I feel like teleporting to a new game every level is a-bit redundant and reduces consistency, This is noticeable from the camera effects changing time to time, doing this also means you constantly have to be changing between games just to add one this when you can simply put it into one game.
I feel like there should only be two Game Places which are the gathering of players to start and the actual game, the game should be different if the plot and environment changes significantly.
There’s certainly more I left out, but as a player I would rate this game a 3/10.
Aesthetics are nice I guess, though they can be a bit annoying. And on levels where the sun was visible I kept getting these annoying glares if I turned a specific direction:
Also turning up the graphics and looking at the sun would literally be like looking at heaven’s gate… You should really turn down the sun rays effects. No picture cause I didn’t take any
And I think on level 4 I can’t remember, I kept getting a BUY OWNER HD ADMIN (SALE):
Dont want to repeat what the guy above said either but the buildings are very disproportionate. And I can’t tell if the levels with water were ment to make you swim in it making it hard to see exactly where you were going or if you were suppose to be able to walk and the water was just there for aesstehicsxcsd.
Gameplay wise, it was just a walking simulator… No real goal except finding a black door shaped rectangle that leads you to the next level. There weren’t even directions so good luck wondering aimlessly until you find the exit. The only other form of gameplay I found was fixing wires to open a gate which was only ever used once. And it was just click a button until the wires turned green, may as well had just increased the walkway rather than make me do that :/. If you’re gonna make an adventure game, add things to do rather than making the player just walk. Like you could add things to read that pertained to the story your telling
Story wise, it may as well be non-existent. If you didn’t tell me there was a story I would had never guessed there was a story as the only other thing that talked about a story was a small barely noticeable text near the bottom of the screen that was monologuing the character’s thoughts about the level.
Some other problems:
The stamina bar doesn’t exists for levels 5 - 10 or something idk. All I remember was noticing it disappeared and reappeared after a specific level.
Remove the stamina bar, no point in it existing as this is basically a walking simulator. You’re not running from anything or doing any parkour with it. It’s quite literally just there to annoy you after running for too long.
Level 13 was where I stopped playing, this was because there was a gate or door or whatever that I couldn’t open. No picture cause I didn’t take any.
Add an indicator for what level you’re on. You did this for level 12 and for what I can remember, no other level.
Hell I’m pretty sure it was just a bug that made the indicator stay.
From what the guy above said, there shouldn’t be any other games other than the lobby and the main game. And in the main game, you’re better off loading each map and it’s environment after the player finds the exit. Since you’re not doing that, the things I asked for you to do will have to done for each new level. Overall making the game harder to change.
Forgor mention the game was immersive. However, you’re focusing way too much on making the game immersive and thus degrading your build and gameplay quality.
And also, the boy who took the pills, The boy is still hallucinating because THE MEDICINES GOT SWAPPED with one that is an chemical that comes from mushrooms. i will add to the game but the game is not finished.
