Who doesn't like the time-travel concept? Rather than a "time machine" the main character is capapble of falling asleep in order to travel through time. The game is rendered into Chapters which, thankfully, alleviates unnecessary back tracking. Interesting storyline, clear, crisp graphics and adequate cut scenes places this game ahead of it's time and will imho hold up to the test of real time travel. What intrigued me is that the game's simplistic approach and uncluttered scenes gives the impression that gameplay is easy. In reality,Time Dreamer is versatile with sufficient challenge to be played by all ages. Hidden object scenes increased in difficulty and, while the scenes appeared "simple to complete," they are challenging and entertaining enough for veteran gamers as well as newcomers. Uniquely, the Adventure portion had an equal balance with hidden object scenes, which I prefer. Had I played this game 1st, the sequel--"Time Dreamer-Temporal Betrayal" would have certainly made more sense and been easier to understand--although I grasped the concept quickly and throughly enjoyed the sequel as well as this 1st Time Dreamer game. All in all the game kept my interest and deserved a good review. Enjoy! -Mama Mia-

that was the best game ever i played in my life

I enjoyed this game quite a bit. Loaded in well. Had no problem with the cursor. Graphics were clear and full on my wide screen. Many varied scenes set in the past, the present and the future. Location transitions were quick and smooth. Music fit the scenes. There were no voice overs but the writing was done quite well. Story line was interesting and quite entertaining. Humorous responses. I played the difficult mode and stayed away from hints. Just sat back and took my time. Game took me about 4.5 hours. The items hidden in plain site but well hidden just the same. Didn't hold my hand or lead me by the nose. Challenging but not really difficult. Enough to make it hold my interest. This was a very entertaining and relaxing game. Hope they make a sequel.

I bought this game on special and because it had an OK review. I enjoyed it more than expected. Following the twists and turns of the story kept me interested and the graphics that changed from past to present to future were well depicted. It's of average length, a reasonable challenge and worth a few hours of your time.

I like this game very much. My grand-daughter ask to play the "one where the man goes to sleep" because she can run the mouse over the items in the hidden object scenes and it shows her the shape. Since she is too young to read, it really helps her to be able to play alone. Of course, I supervise...lol. When I play a game it is for fun, so I really don't critique the graphics and music. As long as it is fun, has a good storyline (which this did) and I enjoy it, then that is all I ask of an enjoyable game.

nice game, liked the time travel storyline..graphics are nice and its a kinda funny which is also a plus. :) but..those hogs (as usual with me) are soooo annoying when they pop up too often...and especially...when theres 20 things to find in each one. some have several of the same object, (5 of this, 4 of that..hate that!) and some objects frustratingly small. but the mini puzzles are quite easy, so all-in-all not bad...go play :)

in this hidden object mystery, you awaken from a seven year long coma in hospital. you return home and find a few surprises -- for example, the place is a boarded up ruin and your father is dead. why? what happened? then a strange man turns up and reveals that you can time-travel when sleeping in the same room as a functioning timepiece. in this game, you use this unusual ability to solve the mystery of your father's death -- and to make a few positive changes in the world along the way. graphics: detailed and crisp. the hidden object scenes usually cluttered, and the objects on your search list (at least some of them), are very tiny and REALLY well hidden. you have to be very careful to make sure your cursor is actually ON the object you are trying to click on, too. the developers included amusing dialogue at times, particularly after hidden object scenes were solved. mini-games are interesting and require some thought but none are especially difficult or novel. music and sound effects: music and sound effects were minimalist, but this seemed appropriate for setting the mood. no voiceovers, dialogue was scripted. storyline: the plot revolves around a mystery and you use time travel to get around. gameplay: there are two modes of play, casual and expert. on casual mode, HO scenes have a click penalty and hints take a long time to recharge (several minutes). smooth gameplay, with no stutters or freezes. even though the story and characters are formulaic and the graphics are just above average (but nothing special), i am still drawn to this game. after playing the one hour demo, i am curious to learn how this particular story progresses and turns out. you may also share this feeling. additionally, the game certainly looks like good fun for the family.

This game requires you travel back and forward in time to try and reverse some events in a shady takeover of an evil corporation and to find your Father. There are no voice overs but the dialoge does linger for enough time to read the whole story. The graphics are good clear and crisp. The puzzles and mini games are all interesting and different with some quite simple and others more difficult with most of the hidden objects quite well hidden but most reasonable easy to find and others present a bit of a challenge. The game did require a bit of backtracking through time and the different scenes to find your objectives but all in all quite a servicable and interesting game.

Quite a short (only 2 ? hours casual) but enjoyable game. You have a diary with clues and tasks. STORYLINE: Skillfully told. You?ve been in a coma for 7 years and wake to find out your dad has been killed. You, however, are a time traveler ? as long as you have a place to nap with a clock around, you can dream and travel to another time period. Your dad?s friend Giovanni befriends you and, together, you plan on how to change history so that your father isn?t dead and his invention hasn?t caused problems within the company he worked for (Infam). How is Infam involved in your dad?s death? Who exactly is Giovanni? Can he really help you with changing history for the better? Ending was satisfactory. GAMEPLAY: Nice ratio of HOS and puzzles. HOS are nicely done, not overcrowded, and objects have good visibility (even the flies can be easily seen). Puzzles are not too difficult. The hint system works well within and without the HOS. If you mouse over the name of an object in a HOS, a silhouette will appear above your cursor in casual mode. If you think you?ve finished everything in the location, try taking a nap. If you don?t travel to the past or future, you aren?t finished with that location. Usually clear direction of what to do and where to go. Good production values; music is not intrusive; smooth animation and nice pace. Graphics are quite nice and capture the change between the years. A pleasant afternoon or evening or play.

It was ok leaves much to be desired
