With its loveable cast of characters, just-right level of challenge, and compelling plot, Lucy Dreaming is a complete win for Tall Story Games and adventure game players alike. The puzzle difficulty ramps up beautifully, just as the plot becomes progressively more compelling until it reaches its incredibly satisfying payoff. I would encourage seeing this one through to the end, but I don’t think I have to: you’ll be hooked from the moment you press Play until the moment the credits roll.
Explore the enchanting world of Lucy Dreaming; with an impressive storyline, beautiful graphics, and excellent voice acting, it’s a game worth checking out!

Lucy Dreaming tells a compelling, concise story filled with wit and hilarity, kept me invested with a juicy mystery, and hooked me with its fantastic execution of the sarcastic adventure game protagonist trope. It never feels like a one-trick pony, and it’s a masterclass in knowing when to surprise with a sudden change in mood or shocking reveal. I went in thinking I was in for a charming point & click adventure with some gimmicks and enough jokes to keep me going, but I’m coming away convinced it’s going on my GOTY list. I wish I could forget everything about it and experience it all over again.
There’s so much love and detail poured into Lucy Dreaming. That this
was written and drawn and developed by one guy, Tom Hardwidge, is
mindblowing. This is an enormous game, both in terms of length and
sheer detail. I thoroughly recommend you give it a look.
With Great Heart Comes A Great Game
It is obvious to me how much effort, time, skill, creativity, humour, attention to detail and love Tall Story Games has put into Lucy Dreaming.
It took me about 13 hours to complete the game but I went back for more because the world they have crafted is simply fun to be in. The level of imagination and escapism is high and I enjoyed engaging with the characters and storyline. The puzzles were challenging without being frustrating and felt like they were well-balanced so as not to distract from the fun while I was trying to solve them.
It’s funny too. I lost track of how many times I guffawed with delight at the humour on show. There are plenty of hidden references and moments within this game that still make me chuckle now. I’m so very tempted to write some here but I don’t want to spoil anything so you’ll have to play the game instead!
The music is great. I have found myself humming it as I’ve gone about my day, which leads nicely on to some of the game’s features. You can actually switch the style of music by pressing ‘M’ on your keyboard. You’ll see what I mean, and that’s very cool.
There’s also a language filter, and a useful hint button if you get really stuck. They are well-considered touches that show Tall Story Games wants this to be for everyone to enjoy.
The voice-acting is tremendously strong. Lucy herself feels real. She feels like a protagonist and I want her to succeed in her quest. That is in no small way down to the talent on show.
I love the 90s art style throughout, which obviously has been created with a lot of care. Make sure you click everything you see, combine everything you can, and enjoy the results.
All-in-all, it’s simply a tremendous game, and one that sits proudly within any gaming collection.
Yet most of all, and I don’t say this lightly, what Tall Story Games has successfully done with Lucy Dreaming is rekindle my love of gaming, and that is the greatest gift I could ask for.

If you’re a fan of point and click games and especially a fan of British comedies like red dwarf, black adder and Friday night dinners, then you’ll enjoy this. The humor is on point through out with moments making me almost spit take once.
The puzzles are tricky but solvable and when you get it it feels satisfying and not at all ‘cheap’ in the sense that everything makes sense and the game gives you the tools.

Summary:
Funny, enjoyable game with quirky loveable characters, logical puzzles and lots of love and attention to detail!
Don't rush through, but take your time to explore and do some silly stuff :)
My first playthrough took 17 hours, but I'm usually on the slower side, especially with so much to explore.
Long version:
Awesome game, one of my favourite point&click adventures now! It's amazing what a single developer can do!
Everything is incredibly well thought out with an insane amount of attention to detail. I love that there's not just the items that are relevant for progressing in the story, but a lot more to look at and interact with. For many of the possible combination of actions/items you get a unique response. A lot of them funny, too. You can totally get lost in the world and just explore to find all those funny comments and references. Lots of nostalgia in there, too. I'd really recommend to not rush through the game, but explore the world and do some silly things :)
The story is interesting and has 2 different layers to it.
Puzzles make sense to me. They are a good range from rather easy to just the right amount of challenging to give me a sense of achievement when solved, but they aren't frustrating.
I like Lucy, the main character, and also all those quirky characters she meets on her adventure. Voice-overs are great! The sound effects and music are good and create a fitting atmosphere in the different situations.
There are some options to customize the game to your liking, e.g. disable cursing, showing the hover texts in a static place or at your coursor, and if you want your mouse wheel to scroll through inventory or the different interactions you can do. There's game pad support, too.

This game is a gem. A real treasure for all point & click lovers who are into British humor.
It got me entertained from start to finish. I loved the witty writing, laughed out loud several times and had that splendid aha-moment when solving one of the trickier puzzles. Speaking of which - excellent puzzle design! The puzzles are varied and sometimes challenging, but always fair. The voice acting is great, too. I have fallen in love with all the quirky characters.
