Others - Dark Dimensions: A Spiritual Successor [v0.07-8-13-25-Update_1] [Stray Dream Games]

There is not much to play right now. About an hour of reading, few lewds. It's shaping up to be really good though. Art looks great so far! Some sandbox elements, traveling between zones, exploring interiors, picking up things.

The only complaint I have so far is proceeding between lines, segments is really slow especially for someone who reads fast.

Other than that I can only hope the updates will arrive on regular basis.

Pros:
-Spectacular art
-Great characterization
-Canon friendly
-Interesting plot, even in the first 5000 words.
-Room to grow
-Lancer's in his silver fox era

Cons:
-Currently very very short
-Still a lot of placeholder stuff

I've been following this for a while and let me just say it was worth the wait! Everyone was in character, the main cast felt like they were from the show itself and the art looks fantastic and well done! It felt like this was an adult reboot of the show.

The jokes were great, especially with Tucker's shenanigans.

Im Definitely eager to see what happens next and how Danny phantom day goes! This is a game Definitely worth checking out.

The story is still in its early stages, but it already leaves you curious to know more. In my opinion, the progression is slow and focused on exploration, so it is more geared towards those who like a calm and immersive pace.

There are still points that can be improved, such as the performance in some parts and the lack of more varied interactions. I also missed a slightly clearer direction at certain moments.

Overall, it is a project with potential, which already delivers a good foundation even though it is a public version in development. It is worth following to see how it will evolve. If you enjoy games with exploration, tense atmosphere and discreet narrative, this one deserves your attention.

The art direction and its animation is really solid. For a sandbox game in its initial stages, it's hard to get lost if you read and use the visual clues. Even the Mouse icon becomes an indication of where you can actually go. I think the dialogue is really solid, and it's humor true to the spirit of the original, especially that Tucker Meat Lover joke in the prologue.
The premise of a dark dimension with the villains turning into possible allies and vice-versa is really promising and I can't wait to get to that part of the story.
I also like that they mention important events like Freakshow and other canonical events and interactions, as it'll help with the foundation of some relationships, like Danny possibly being comfortable with some more people knowing of his identity. Easiest way to get Paulina and Star's routes tbh.

When I first opened the game I expected another retread of the first few episodes before it being abandoned but I was shocked by the amount of quality being put on display. Every issue I personally had was due to the game being early in development rather than it being bad. They've got a solid foundation and I'm looking forward to see it built on.

Positives

1. I like the art style a lot. The woman look hot and the men look good. Can't ask for more.

2. The writing is pretty good. I like Danny being in a slump because he hasn't had to go ghost in a long time. It gives him a reason to be different without shitting on his previous personalities characterization.

3. The neat little touches to how characters present themselves after the time skip is great. Tucker switching from cap to beanie. Sam gets an upgrade. Lancer has grey in his beard. The devs could've just made them seem taller and called it a day.

Negatives: This is probably due to early development but the characters seem static. Their words don't match up to their portraits yet.

All in all I hope I see more of this in July.
