This game isnt polished, I am new at coding and anything to do with game development so there will be bugs. Sometimes the loading screen goes on forever which ive read is an unreal issue!

Adorable game Lee has some cute expressions and a great design theres some great soothing and maybe even a bit intense music that helps set the mood the dreams are creative and interesting
First off, I absolutely adore this game and am excited to see where it goes with further development. The cute yet unsettling art and the choice of music come together seamlessly to invoke the exact sense of dreaminess the developer is aiming for.
Since it's very early in development there's some bugs and softlocks that can occur so I'm going to leave a brief guide to avoid them here:
• The dev already mentioned infinite loading screens, this is solved by force closing and restarting the game although there's no save points yet so this will start you over at the beginning.
• The different interactables have a finicky "hitbox", you have to stand directly in front of them with the exception of the bed at the beginning.
• Speaking of interactables, don't click on the bed or any doors until you've seen everything you want to see and are ABSOLUTELY ready to move on - because if you click the "not yet" options, you can't interact with the object again and will have to restart the game.
• You can't pause the game as of yet so you'll have to restart via force closing it.
• The volume sliders don't work yet, and the music is LOUD, so be prepared to turn your headphones way down or make use of your computer's volume mixer.
This sounds like I think it's a miserable experience, I really don't! This is just a realistic account of a game that's literally in pre-pre-extreme alpha, brand spanking new! With a supportive community I have faith this game will take off and become something EVEN GREATER.
I love the artwork and surrelism of the story, also makes for a great speedrunning game
Really cool experience and amazing artwork!
