Don’t be mistaken by the delicate, soothing title – I dream of you and ice cream comes to Xbox, bringing all manner of horror.Â
Having previously found success and acclaim over on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, I dream of you and ice cream makes moves onto the Xbox systems that we love, working on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S for just £3.29. That’s a super cheap price, one that beats both other formats, and one that will mean the launch of the game on Xbox is seen as hugely appealing.Â
If you do decide to drop in, then you’ll find similar to what took place on Steam and Switch previously. It’s pretty dark too, belying the name to deliver something of sheer madness. We’re finding out just how mad during our current review process and will be sure to deliver all thoughts as soon as we can.
The press blast builds out ultimate hopes as I dream of you and ice cream follows the enslavement of all mankind by a sinister, doll-like entity. See, you head inside a complex where, every day, the entity questions world leaders about aspects of humanity – a potentially lethal process – as an old scientist of unspecified gender is building a machine. Clinging to a few precious memories, with each passing day the scientist gathers components and toils on their obscure project, as the clock ticks relentlessly towards a horrifying climax.
Dark eh!?
Basically put though, this is a simple point-and-clicker in which the vast majority of play is thrust onto the puzzle solving. The thing is, solve a couple of tests and you’ll be rewarded with partial solutions for future challenges. We like hints!
With no speech or written dialogue, there’s a chance that what you make of I dream of you and ice cream will be unique to each and every player. Let us know if that’s the case down in the comments if you’ve played it previously.
To play on Xbox, I dream of you and ice cream can be downloaded from the Xbox Store.Â
Game Description:
I dream of you and ice cream is a game about imperialism, the loss of identity and personal sacrifice. A sinister, doll-like entity has enslaved all mankind. Inside the complex where, every day, the entity questions world leaders about aspects of humanity – a potentially lethal process – an old scientist of unspecified gender is building a machine. Clinging to a few precious memories, with each passing day the scientist gathers components and toils on their obscure project, as the clock ticks relentlessly towards a horrifying climax. I dream of you and ice cream is a point-and-click adventure game with a very simple interface and an emphasis on puzzle solving. For every two puzzles solved, players are rewarded with a partial solution which can be used in another puzzle. There are no spoken lines or written dialogue in the game: Everything is communicated through speech bubbles, symbols and emotions.
