Story The player is Ryan (who can be described as an anti-hero), a bartender in a futuristic dystopian city whose nights are plaged with strange dreams. In the last dream before the game starts, Ryan is asked by the master monk to be the delieverer and kill the seven chosen ones who are united to break the Dreamweb. Information The music in Dreamweb (by Matthew Seldon) is highly regarded, helping to bring about the atmosphere which made the game admired by many at the time, and the CD version even has a bonus CD audio track. The dark - if simple - story is also praised, and the characters are well developed. The original game came packed with a booklet named Diary of a mad man which had more background info on the main character (and served as a copy-protection method). The game is criticized for its poor top-down view and overlooking many "rules" commonly observed in adventure games; for instance, while you can pick up most objects on-screen, the large part of them don't have any purpose. Some puzzles, although logical, are very simplistic - while in many adventure games (even on more adult adventures) the solution to pass by a NPC is working around him (by distracting or giving some object), in Dreamweb the use of a gun is quite common and the assassination of other characters frequent, sometimes with gory results. It was also one the first mainstream games that featured an uncensored sex scene, which was quite controversial at the time of release, despite merely being a few blurred pixels.
