DreamWeb

Ryan, a bartender from a dystopian future can't sleep peacefully for months. His nights are sequences of nightmares and strange dreams, days with frequent black-outs with strange visions, until one night a figure in monk attire appears to him, and tells him the story of the seven evil ones, uniting to destroy to Dreamweb, the only barrier between the world and darkness. The monk makes a proposition: Ryan becomes the "deliverer": the one who would keep the Dreamweb safe by killing those who try to destroy it.

Dreamweb is a dark, brooding game set in a dystopian near-future. You play Ryan, a bartender who is plagued by nightmares in this cyberpunk inspired adventure game. These nightmares eminate from the dreamweb, which affects the plane of your subconscious. The web has been corrupted by the presence of seven controlling figures and your job is to kill them, cleanse the web and save the world from madness. Considerable attention is paid to the game's atmosphere, but the value of a strong narrative is overlooked. The dialogue is functional rather than enjoyable. Puzzles have logical solutions, but the fact that you can pick up almost everything makes the solutions obscure at times. A prime example of style over content, but definitely worth a look for its gripping plot and very atmospheric gameplay. There's also a controversial and one of the earliest uncensored sex scenes in a mainstream PC game.
