An action adventure game, in which we play as a boy traversing a hostile world, facing his sorrows. Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow tasks us with exploring locations, platforming, avoiding traps, solving puzzles and dealing with enemies.
Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow is an action adventure game about a young boy facing his sorrows. It was developed by indie studio Frozen Line and published by Ravenage Games.
The main protagonist of Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow is a little boy named Griffin. He is trapped in a hostile world, seemingly made up of his nightmares. With no other choice, he sets out on a journey during which he'll face his fears, discover the land's true nature and replace his sorrows with new feelings. He's not alone, being accompanied by a faithful friend - Birly the bear.
The gameplay of Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow is shown from various angles; depending on the scene, we'll see the main character from the side or from behind his back (TPP). Traversing the game's world, the player visits many locations such as beautiful plains, lush forests, dark caves or hovering castles.
Along the way we must jump on platforms, avoid traps and solve environmental puzzles; Griffin must operate different mechanisms or lift and carry heavy objects. He's assisted by Birly, who can reach some inaccessible places. We can control him directly or command him. Occasionally we'll also encounter nightmarish monsters; though usually Griffin and Birly must hide or run from them, sometimes they must face them head-on, for example, by chasing them away with a torch.
Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow makes use of an appealing, colorful, cartoonish artstyle.

Game Ratings for Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow Video Game.
GamesCreed: 3.8 / 5 by Mariella Deadman
Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow is a wonderful sidescroller that shows great potential from a clearly passionate and skilled new developer. While there are some teething problems with the 3D elements of the game and some object collision issues that can make puzzles frustrating, the game definitely demonstrates what it does right far more than what it does wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing and can’t wait to see what Frozen Line will be up to next. Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow comes out on June 14th and it well worth checking out.
GameGrin: 4.5 / 10 by Alyssa Rochelle Payne
Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow is an underwhelming puzzle platformer. The eye-catching, whimsical environments simply aren't enough to salvage the poor storytelling and frustrating controls.

Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow is a solid cinematic platformer if you’re looking for a short and sweet adventure that can be completed in a few gaming nights. I often find myself mixed with games like this. I hated the gotcha moments and became frustrated with the platforming, especially during action sequences. Although it was never to the extent where I threw in the towel, something drove me to carry on and see this game to its conclusion. For every issue I had, I could point to something I liked such as the rewarding puzzles, the captivating presentation and the dreamlike soundtrack. It really is a roller coaster of a video game. Ultimately I liked Daydream. Through all the highs and lows I had with my time, I walked away satisfied and wanting to cuddle a teddy. But since I’m a bit old for that now, I’ll cuddle my son instead.
