What players say

Players describe Projected Dreams as a short, cozy puzzle game where you stack toys to cast shadows. Several mention the game's length at around 3-5 hours, and that each chapter introduces a new twist like cloning or making items invisible. A few find the physics imprecise when trying to balance objects, and opinions split on whether the challenge is satisfying or too simple.
