The story aspect of the game has received largely negative feedback, with many players feeling disconnected and uninterested in the narrative. Critics describe the story as dull and unnecessary, with dream snippets that feel irrelevant and poorly integrated into the gameplay. Overall, some players express a preference for a version of the game without any story elements.
“I recommend Dream Catcher: Prologue to players interested in the finished game and/or a casual puzzle and story experience, particularly if they want to get involved in development.”
“Only a brief snapshot of each dreamer's story.”
“However, I just did not care for any of the narrative and story side; for me, I personally could not connect with it (it didn't grab me).”
“The 'story' is just dull and unnecessary.”
“The items don't really feel like they fit with what the story says the dreams are about, and since the dreams and story snippets don't seem to affect anything else, they feel shoehorned in.”
