Another solid entry from Jesse Makkonen. As with his previous games, the visuals have a unique and appealing style, and the music is quite good, working together to create an excellent dreamlike moodiness. It's hard to overstate how much I enjoyed the atmosphere. The puzzles were straightforward, but still felt satisfying, and the camera mechanic was simple but impactful. The plot feels a bit thin here, and while there's a lot of heart to it, I didn't quite get as emotionally invested as I'd hoped. I think there needed to be a bit more screentime for the major characters to really get me invested for the finale. Still, I had a good time with Afterdream and easily recommend it to fans of horror adventure games.
