yogsloth: I've also bookmarked this and intend to give it a whirl.

MarkoH01: I just finished the game and here is what I think about it:

1) The technical side:.
I still found two bugs in displaying the text (see attachement - WARNING SPOILER INSIDE) and vsync does not work (maybe because it's just borderless window and not real fullscreen). Other then that I have nothing to complain at all.

2) The gaming side:
Not that much real "gameplay" to it but after the demo I did not expect it otherwise. Still some minor minigames have been included to let the game feel less like a visual novel. It's also a bit obvious that your choices will mostly (if not always) lead to the same outcome but I have no problems with the illusion of choice as well.

3) Story/Atmosphere
This is where the real strength of this short (around 2 hours) game lies for me. The constant changing between now and then makes an interesting form of narration. The change between drama, horror and mystery let the gamer keep thinking what really happened. The characters feel real and the F/X and sound effects are fitting. To be honest, I was not that surprised about the ending and was hoping for more but going on this rollercoaster ride with the main character was actually kind of fun. The story is not really new and I could name a few movies this whole story reminded me of - but alone the fact that I recognize such movies in the game is a good sign. I won't name them here to not spoil any of the game.

Thank you all for this game. I really enjoyed it and you can congratulate yourself and your team in delivering something that definitely is more than the average hobby game.

KneeTheCap: As Traum is getting its steam release soon, this will be my last post about it :D

Thank you all for trying it out and giving valuable feedback! Like said before, this was my first foray in writing and really hope it won't be the last. Any case, thank you all for reading the thread, trying the game out and, hopefully, having fun playing it!

The game is available on itchio too, if you want to play it now.

Thanks!

MarkoH01: I still think that you should at least have tried GOG as well. I guess it won't be fre on Steam? In this case I wish you and the team good sales for the game and of course a positive ratng. I really enjoyed playing it. Thank you!

KneeTheCap: It's going to be free on steam and that's the reason we didn't try to get it on GOG. I don't think GOG gets free games on their store.

BlueMooner: Is the plot basically just about a hetero relationship, with minor horror elements thrown in?

FrodoBaggins: GOG has several free games, as well as free demos and DLCs.
Games like Beneath A Steel Sky, Teenagent, Flight Of The Amazon Queen, Cayne, and more.

I urge you again to try and get your game here on GOG. It would be wonderful to see the game here!
What have you got to lose?
Besides, many people who don't like the DRM aspect of steam, will not play it through steam.

MarkoH01: The core of the game is....
MarkoH01: Ah yes, completely forgot about these. And I agree that it's worth a try if it does not cost anything.
