Stranded Dreamscapes: The Doppelganger Collector's Edition

Doppelgangers are not a made up thing, in case you thought that only happens in movies. Granted, it’s much rarer in the real world, since every human is different from everyone else, and we are also quite far apart on the planet. There are a couple of interesting cases, on the other hand, some of which were actually used as movie premises.

Stranded Dreamscapes: The Doppelganger is a classic hidden object adventure game that presents you with a wonderful adventure involving mystery, magic, as well as a villain that needs to be defeated. There’s not much innovation in the gameplay department, but then again the fans of the genre are more interested in the actual experience than they are in new mechanics.

In short, the story revolves around a woman who’s getting ready for her wedding and putting the finishing touches on her bride, when suddenly she is trapped in her grandfather’s mirror. On top of that, an evil doppelganger tries to take her place in the real world, which is why the soon-to-be bride needs to find a way out of the mirror as quickly as possible.

As mentioned before, the gameplay is pretty much the same as in most HOPAs out there, which means that most of your time is spent examining scenes for useful items, as well as solving puzzles. These puzzles are not very complex, but they can take a bit of time to complete, mainly because they require you to understand certain patterns.

The graphics do not feature anything too impressive either, at least not from a technical point of view. On the other hand, the artwork is sublime in most cases, mainly because it’s hand-drawn and very detailed. This allows you to really get caught up in the atmosphere, which is also helped by the nice music and the neat sound effects that go along with the story.

Stranded Dreamscapes: The Doppelganger features the right combination of intrigue and mystery, as well as pleasant puzzles and fluid gameplay. Hence, it’s a treat for every casual adventure fan out there. NOTE: This is a downloader for the game. Once run, the application will automatically download and install the game on your computer.
