HE IS OUR RADIANT ONE UPDATE

It's actually surprising how much Radiant One's story hit home for me, and all in such a short play time. A lot of strange and creepy things happen while youвЂ™re helping Daniel navigate between his dreams in the real world, and they all tie together to tell a really cohesive story that has some poignant things to say about family, obsession, and growing up. Instead, the driving force of Radiant One is its story. There are times when you have to do some light puzzle solving and basic quick-time events, but the mechanics arenвЂ™t really the draw here.

You tap around on the screen to make Daniel move, and you can tap on points of interest to interact with them. Radiant One puts you in control of Daniel just as things start going wrong for him in his dreams, and over the course of the game you guide him through environments to help him discover what exactly is going on.ДЇor the most part, Radiant One plays a lot like a typical adventure game. After weeks of training himself to control his unconscious self, he finally has a breakthrough which allows him to fly around through the clouds and otherwise choose his own destiny while heвЂ™s asleep.ДanielвЂ™s newfound power is really exciting for him at first, but as time wears on, strange things start happening to him where the lines of his conscious and unconscious life begin to blur. YouвЂ™re introduced to the protagonist, Daniel, just as heвЂ™s discovering his ability to have lucid dreams. Radiant One starts out innocently enough. The end result makes Radiant One take less than an hour to complete, though it will stick in your mind for much, much longer than that. The game tells the story of a man who has learned to lucid dream in a way that is surreal, spooky, and pretty affecting, all without wasting players' time on useless puzzles or extended exploration sequences. Radiant One is a short adventure game, but that's probably its greatest strength. The reviewer no longer recommends this game or stands by its score.
