The Game:
Bad Dream: Coma is a really simple point and click adventure. You will be navigating the world by clicking on the screen and interacting with the environment and finding items. Each item does something special in the game that will let you progress further. You will want to explore the environment and remember what you see just in case you find an item that can move your forward.
The game is pretty short but there are three possible ending you can achieve. By doing nothing but good you are able to get the good ending. By only doing some bad you can get the neutral ending. If you solve the puzzles with reckless abandon you will get the bad ending.
My Thoughts:
Bad Dream: Coma is simple but it has a lot of character. From the beginning, you are dropped into a dark and mysterious world. The game has a hand-drawn aesthetic with no real color. The music is light and ominous. All of it designed to take you into a dark dream world.
(Story Spoiler)
What is cool about this point and click is the way you solve puzzles can directly affect not only the ending but the world around you. The more shortcuts you take by doing bad things the darker the world becomes. You will see some small decision of killing animals or stabbing an eye in the wall will come back later to haunt you through the game. All animals are part of this world and will lead to consequences as to how you handle them.
This game isn't very complex or flashy and its also a bit short but it is pretty entertaining. This isn't a game where you will burn a lot of time into but the time you spend in it is pretty entertaining. The story takes a twist and turns and the puzzles do a good job being unique and pulling you into the environment. It's an enjoyable point and click.
TL;DR:
Bad Dream: Coma is a unique point and click game with a dark theme. It's a short game but if you like the genre it's a good one.
