    I hope this game get English option sooner. Tbh I believe its narrative is on the same level of To the Moon series. This is a total story driven game. Experiences in the past that we young people never heard of, funny and sometimes deep dialogues (I really hope it does not lose any humor sense after translating), plausible twists, realistic dramas in a nursing home (or in the life itself), brilliant ideas to deliver the changing of perspective, all of these motivated me to go through its…

    (I'm not confident that my Chinese will do this review justice if I wrote it in Chinese, so I'm choosing to review it in English. Yes at the moment this game is Chinese only). It felt like "To The Moon" but it factors in the reality of Alzheimer's told in a true Chinese setting. Very well written, the graphics are also quite quirky. Overall a game that's full of personality.

    Final/Solo Mix ofc puts Transformation in Sho's fight but Uzuki/Kariya get Long Dream instead of Emptiness And which to my memory just doesn't play in the main game fights now. there's nearly double the tracks cool but they just shove them all in and scramble them & don't let you do much about it

    30 days of awesome RPG battle tracks! Normal battles, boss battles whatever. Day 2 - Long Dream (The World Ends With You) "Are you ready?" "Watch yourself!" Still one of the many bangers from this incredible game youtu.be/bnt-SEg9J9Y?...

    两小时不到的流程,主题关乎:审视死亡,所以非常能连接观众 节拍打得凑合,场景内部有动人细节和有趣知识,但每一幕之间的戏剧冲突没有加深,故事结构不够戏剧化 且人物之间的矛盾,并没有很好地服务于主控思想(比如妈妈和儿子的冲突,妈妈对外公的不耐烦) 这不是个成熟的商业剧本,但胜在真实感 主控思想是:记忆是一种生命形式,更确切地说,记忆是一种生命载体 初中时腿伤了,医生说20岁才会好,当时觉得太遥远了,今年也觉得20遥远,因为已经28岁了。可能临终也很远,但其实白头不过是眨眼间。 雪泥鸿爪,往事不能追 这片土地曾让我泪流不止,可几场风雨后就要抹去了痕迹 即便记忆是一种生命载体,让人感伤让人幸福,但逃不过的是:所有人都终将倒在时间的剑下

    相比前作《坏小孩》是化茧成蝶般的成长。相比销量的不增反降,实在是太可惜了,制作者的文笔和游戏的叙事过场水准要远胜于《山海旅人》(没有踩,也是好游戏),大概是老人题材不够吸睛。 希望未来有被自媒体重新带火的一天吧,至少,可以细水长流。

    This is a touching, yet light-hearted tale of a retired postman trying to keep a promise to his late wife while suffering from Alzheimer's. Gameplay is simple, it is more like an interactive storybook that can be completed within a weekend afternoon. Despite the heavy topic of the challenges of dementia care, WildMonkey (the game dev) manages to make the story accessible without downplaying the mental toll on family caregivers. And as someone who has had to provide end-of-life care for a…

    很煽情。男人到了这岁数玩这种游戏,就是如鲠在喉吧,眼泪出不来也散不去,评价想说点什么最后也无话可说。

    Long Dream, developed by WildMonkey and published by Gamirror Games, is a poignant and beautifully understated narrative adventure that explores memory, loss, and the fragile line between reality and illusion. It tells the story of Zhao Sheng, an elderly postman who has retired from his long service and now struggles with the slow deterioration of his mind. His days are haunted by a lingering promise and a vivid memory of his late wife, Qi Mei, whom he believes is waiting for him beneath a…

    I built a horror game with my brother over the last 3 weeks: DIO SOMNUS. The concept was inspired by Junji Ito's "Long Dream". It was hard work, but we had a lot of fun paying homage to the genre! If you try it out, let me know which ending you got 😈 renasonas.itch.io/diu-somnus
