Drawing with Nat: Dream Diary

About

You play as Nat in a surreal world of shifting dreamscapes inspired by Yume Nikki. Wander through abstract environments to gather "Inspiration" that lets you sketch new objects and unlock "Forms" which alter Nat’s look and grant special moves. The gameplay loops around exploration and experimentation as you piece together the meaning behind these dream worlds. The game stands out for its whimsical art style and open-ended design. Players can approach each level however they want with no strict goals beyond discovery. While short, the 3 hour runtime feels satisfying for a chill session. Its indie charm and creative freedom have earned it a 4.3/5 average on fan forums.
