How it feels

A slow, contemplative journey through dreamlike worlds where you explore and collect items at your own pace, with a quiet, surreal tone.

What players say

Players praise Dreaming Sarah's dreamlike pixel art and soundtrack, but opinions split on the non-linear exploration. Some love getting lost in the surreal world, while others find it confusing and frustrating with little direction. The game is short and cheap, wears its Yume Nikki inspiration clearly.
