How it feels

You click through the files of an old laptop, slowly piecing together a forgotten story with gentle puzzles and quiet curiosity.

What players say

Players are split on Heavy Dreams: some appreciate the story that unfolds once they push through, but many more slam the puzzle design as obscure and the interface as frustrating, starting with the infamous login screen. Complaints about an unreadable font and pixelated text are common, though a resolution fix helps.
