Inspired by classics such as Mother on the NES, Dreamed Away is my current favorite pixel art role-playing game. I don't think I've ever played a game in which every detail (sounds, sprites, chats, maps, …) has been that meticulously crafted. It's hard to imagine that a single person, Nicolas Petton, is responsible for (at least) 95% of the work: the code, the graphics, the music, … Nicolas is a genius and his latest creation is just amazing. Théo is a young kid living a happy life with his mother and joyful sister Louise in Brittany, France. Everything is fine until what looks like a nightmare starts to blend in: Théo gets surrounded by ghosts in a dark and terrifying version of his house. From that moment on, he will never be able to tell reality apart. During all his adventure in incredible places (including catacombs, a nice little village full of weird characters, and an under-water research center), Théo will never cease to look for his joyful sister: Louise is the only reason he will never give up. Unfortunately danger is never far away! I love this game!
