Dreaming Mary

"Dreaming Mary" is an original side-scrolling adventure game created using the free RPG Maker VX Ace Lite. It is inspired by the Japanese horror game “Ib” and the abstract game “Yume Nikki,” and shows influences from the indie platformer “Eversion” as well as the TV series “Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica.” Despite these influences, “Dreaming Mary” isn’t necessarily a horror game. While it does contain horror elements, a player who prefers to lose themselves in dreams rather than investigate may never encounter them. The average playtime to reach an ending ranges from fifteen to twenty-five minutes, and there are four different endings. In the game, you can interact with objects and NPCs. It’s important to pay attention to dialogues and your surroundings to make progress. Sound plays a crucial role in this game and can help the player progress, as well as provide clues about the situation Mary finds herself in.
