Evaluation

DDR: The Beginning (also known as Daydream: Prologue) was a free standalone prologue/first act for the full game Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow. It was released on March 3, 2023 as a teaser and promotional vehicle for the main game. The full game, Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow, launched on June 14, 2023, with the prologue's news posts consistently directing players to wishlist and purchase it. This prologue app is no longer available for purchase on Steam — there are no purchase options listed. This is consistent with the common practice of developers delisting free prologues after the full game releases, as the prologue's promotional purpose has been fulfilled. The last developer communication on this specific app was June 14, 2023, coinciding with the full game's launch. Because no purchase options exist, this listing is considered delisted and can no longer be acquired.

About this game

This is the first act of Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow — a horror-infused, puzzle-packed, atmospheric adventure game.

Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow is an atmospheric adventure game starring Griffin, a little boy who struggles to face his fears. Thankfully, his teddy bear companion Birly is always by his side.

The duo's journey will not be easy. Traversing the expanse of light and darkness will force the pair to confront traumatic memories and make amends with the monsters of the past.



Birly's help is invaluable. Send him anywhere Griffin can't reach. Toss the teddy bear over a high beam to press a button or command him to crawl into a tiny hole. Together, the duo can move heavy objects, overcome traps and succeed at whatever new challenges await them.


Discover a touching story


Have you ever woken up in a surreal universe with a living teddy bear companion by your side? We didn’t think so. Step into Griffin’s shoes as he attempts to shed light on the mystery of this strange new world. Embark on a sweeping adventure and unravel a heartwarming story of two friends achieving the impossible in the face of doubt.

Overcome tough challenges


Enlist Birly's help to solve intricate puzzles and explore a new world. You control Griffin directly, but can also pick up, throw and issue commands to your teddy bear companion to aid your progress.

Explore mysterious world


Griffin finds himself in a dark place haunted by visions of the past, yet there is more to this world than doom and gloom. Once you have mustered the strength to press forward, you’ll find a fascinating and multifaceted world filled with floating castles, rugged caves, fairytale forests and sunny plains.
