Hi!
Just arrived here and of course the first game I checked to see if was around was Dreamweb! Nah, I already own the CD version, but I wanted to see if there were other fans of the game... cool to find a few!
While there are a few things I REALLY wished were more fully developed in this game (longer scenarios for some of the characters, such as Underwood and Sartain) and resolution to some of the more 'glossed over' aspects (eg. Father O'Roarke's 'entropy', Chapel's murder), this actually remains one of my favourite games ever. I find it amongst the most atmospheric games I've ever played (ranking equal for me with Fallout and Full Throttle), there's just something about the admittedly simple music, the sound of the rain, the weary voices (on the CD) of so many characters (especially Ryan) that just builds a real sense of foreboding yet inevitable darkness. Sure, I still think it needed a couple of improvements, but overall I do love Dreamweb.
Just talking about it makes me want to play it again!!! But, maybe I'll see if I can track down the Amiga version and give that a try...
Incidentally, I'm in Australia and this game was one of several (like Phantasmagoria) that got 'withdrawn from sale' here (reportedly due to Crane's 'activities' before his demise). I remember getting my copy just a day or two before it got pulled from shelves. A coupel of years later, I saw a copy in a bargain bin and bought that too, just for good measure. Like I said, I REALLY loved this game.
Cheers,
Banjo
