One Dreamer
Games about programming code are often about as interesting as books about binding pages to a hardback spine. Not One Dreamer, which if anything is a game about learning how to code badly. It’s the story of an indie developer whose creation has become toxic to him and its players, and his inability to escape its clutches. As it deftly jumps about through time, you learn the history, the present, and fear for the future, all while learning how to bodge code to just about work for now. And it does all this in a brutally intimate and evocative tale about when it’s time to give up.
