| genre = Adventure, Puzzle | modes = Single-player }} ''Dreamscape'' (stylized as ''dream:scape'') is a first-person adventure video game, with puzzle elements, developed and published by Speedbump Studies. It was released worldwide on June 9, 2011 for iOS devices exclusively. The game does not follow traditional video game conventions, as it involves minimal interaction from the player and does not require choices to be made, and there are only basic puzzles for the player to complete. It instead places focus on its story, which is told through the perspective of a man called Wilson, who is caught in the limbo between life and death. Moments before his death, Wilson is transported to his own Dreamscape and is allowed to relive all his memories for one last time. While there he finally discovers the truth as to why his fiancee, Amelia, disappeared on the day of their wedding. ''Dreamscape'' was developed over the course of three months by George Lippert, who also co-wrote the games script and voiced all male characters. Carol Mertz and Lippert's son Zane provided the voices for all other characters. Lippert designed the game around a 3D cabin model he made while learning to use the Unreal Engine. While the game was initially set to be released in April 2011, the release date was pushed back two months in order to fix a memory bug that prevented it from running on certain devices. Upon release ''Dreamscape'' received "mixed or average" reviews, according to video game review score aggregator Metacritic. Reviewers generally praised the narrative and sound design, but criticized the uninspiring gameplay and repetitive nature of the game. It also became the second game to run on iOS devices using Unreal Engine 3 after 2010's ''Infinity Blade''. == Gameplay == ''Dreamscape'' is an adventure game, with puzzle elements, played from the first-person perspective. In order to control the protagonist, Wilson, players use virtual touchscreen controls. The controls feature an analog stick on both sides of the screen, with the latter used for movement and the former used for camera controls. Players can also move the camera by swiping across the screen with their finger. Players have to complete various puzzles in order to gain access to previously restricted areas. The majority of these puzzles require players to retrieve an object from a certain location in order to bypass an obstacle in another location. For example, an early puzzle involves locating a key in order to open the locked door for a cabin. Occasionally puzzles take the form of a quick time event (QTE), in which players must swipe across the screen in a certain direction in a short span of time, or else the puzzle is failed and must be retried. Players can only complete puzzles in a certain order, meaning the game world opens up gradually as the story progresses. Upon completion of the story a free roam option is unlocked, allowing players to freely explore the game world. At the start of ''Dreamscape'' players are given a diary, in which most of the pages are empty except for titles at the top of each page. The titles themselves are named after all the locations that can be visited throughout the game world, and as such players can use this to work out where they have to go to next. As the story processes the pages of the diary slowly fill up, giving extra information about the locations found in the game. It also provides back story to not only the main character, Wilson, but to the other characters as well.〔 The diary also contains a map, which is designed to help players navigate the thirty acre world. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dreamscape (video game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
