Our take on Post War Dreams
Instead of focusing only on combat, the game places Garrett among civilians trying to escape the collapse. The initial choice to assist Kara’s group or go alone gives way to a shared caravan journey, where the characters’ personal histories and the consequences of success or failure shape the story.
What is Post War Dreams?
Post War Dreams is a 2.
5D side-scrolling action game set in a collapsed United States. Garrett Mitchell travels through dangerous streets, abandoned buildings, underground bunkers and wasteland routes while facing militia soldiers and gangs. Food, water and other survival supplies are scarce as he tries to leave the city alive. Players can help Kara, a former emergency medical technician leading a group toward possible safety, or first attempt to go alone. Garrett ultimately becomes part of Kara’s caravan, whether by choice or reluctantly. As he learns about the people traveling with him, player decisions and successes or failures can affect their fates, including whether some characters die.
