- Secrets of the game's locations - 13 July 2023
Hello daydreamers! Everyone who has already played Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow knows very well that the game abounds with a variety of locations, from dark and disturbing to bright and colorful. Why so? The fact is that all the scenes in the game that we meet represent stages of Griffin's life and the experiences associated with them. The red mansion represents the gravity of the past, namely problems in the marriage between the parents, scandals and domestic violence. The little homemade wigwam in the boy's room is a symbol of refuge in the realm of hopelessness and unhappiness. This is where he gets away from his father's wrath with his best friend, a teddy bear. His father's study in the house is the scariest place for Griffin, especially the sinister knight who has become the epitome of his father's cruelty. That's why our protagonist tries to run away from home, to hide from the gho…
- The story behind the game - 6 July 2023
Every story begins somewhere... The tale of these two individuals had its roots in Griffin's early childhood, long before the events of Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow… Griffin was born into a family where things were complicated. His father was a tough man involved in questionable activities, specifically hunting rare animals, while his mother took care of the household. Mom and Dad were always busy, so Griffin spent most of his time with nannies and teachers. He was homeschooled and didn't attend a regular school because his parents believed the modern world could harm him. As a result, Griffin struggled to make friends and often felt alone, despite being surrounded by care and attention. Griffin's only companion was his teddy bear, Birly. To him, Birly was special because the bear listened attentively. Griffin found solace in the bear's black glass eyes, which seemed to show understanding…

- Revealing secrets about Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow - 24 May 2023
IDEA We started to think about making a new game when we were still finishing the first one. At that time we strongly decided that indie development was our thing, because we understood that we could make ANY game we wanted. But as always, bringing a game to its release - is quite a challenge. Lead game developer: I vividly remember us trying to come up with a new game while sitting in a bar. Unfortunately the bar wasn’t the lucky spot for us and really worthy of our time idea just wasn't coming to our minds yet. But inspiration came a couple of months later, when I watched an animated film called ‘The Little Prince’ by Method Animation. It was based on one of my favorite books written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. At first it seemed to be just a children's story, but as you rewatch a cartoon and re-read the book you can see so much more and reflect on all the deep issues that are writte…

- How a Simple Conversation Turned into a Touching Game Plot - 5 April 2023
Hi, we are the developers of the game Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow. Today we want to tell you how we managed to make a touching story out of a friendly heart-to-heart conversation. When we read the development diaries of other teams, the first thing we came across was the technical side of the issue. Therefore, we share here our experience of finding a plot. Human mind is endless and beautiful. The world of our imagination is like a kaleidoscope, in which, on the one hand, chaotic images and fragments of events assembling up to something concrete, and on the other hand, the whole image remains abstract. With this knowledge we wanted to recreate the model of our imagination on the screen in some way. However, in this regard, there was an obvious question: where should I start developing a game if there are no references in the usual sense? We did not set out to create something like the pa…
- Lifting the veil of secrecy - 22 March 2023
Hello everyone, today we will try to tell you more about the world and the characters of Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow. At first glance, Daydream seems to be another Limbo-Like 3D platformer. Indeed, such games as Limbo and Little Nightmares inspired us during the creation of the gameplay process and some locations. However, the story we want to tell is different, because it has the beginning and the end. The world of the game is not real, it exists only in the head of the main character, Griffin. All the components of this world are based on how Griffin himself perceives the surrounding reality, from which he is trying to escape. An attentive player may notice that Griffin has difficulties in his family, and the images of his enemies and allies echo what is happening in his life. The main character's parents are just what remains behind the scenes. Griffin's family is patriarchal: a stric…
