Developed for Windows 3.1 running with 16 colours, and written in Visual Basic 1.0, Dare To Dream was one of Epic Megagames' first games released for Windows, divided into three episodes. They were: In a Darkened Room In Search of the Beast Christian's LairThis Adventure Game takes the player inside the mind of the 10-year-old main character, Tyler Norris, whose inability to cope with the death of his father has brought something evil to life in the depths of his troubled psyche. Through the powers of a magic key, Tyler transports himself into the world of his dreams, to confront his dark side before it destroys him.Of course, this results in a rather surreal style for the game as a whole (well, as surreal as you can get with a fixed 16-colour palette) and many of the puzzles are counter-intuitive. On the up side, there's no way to die or make the game Unwinnable. Forget an item? Just go back and get it.Like most PC games from the 16-bit era, it doesn't run on modern computers without something like DOSBox. | |

Plot-Triggering Death | |
| Dare to Dream (Video Game) / int_13e1c444 | comment |
Plot-Triggering Death: The shock of Tyler's father dying causes him to repress all his negative emotions, which form into an evil personality unto itself inside Tyler's mind, who he has to confront before it can destroy him. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Dare to Dream (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: Some things about the games aren't evident just from playing them. For instance, all you see of Rennis is a pair of glowing eyes through a skull's eye socket. You might never guess he's supposed to be a rat unless you had the game's official hintbook with profiles for all the characters. | |

Talking Animal: A lot of the characters in Tyler's imagination are seemingly-ordinary animals that talk, tying into the game's theme of Tyler growing out of the fixtures of his childhood, like cartoons with talking animals. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Dare to Dream (Video Game) / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The Key of Enigami, a magical gold key topped with a ceramic unicorn, is supposedly an ancient North American Indian artifact. This is in spite of the facts that unicorns did not exist in their mythology, gold wasn't commonly used for much of anything, and the name sounds more like Japanese than a Native American language. While the game justifies some of its more outlandish events with the All Just a Dream conceit, the key is one of the few things that's supposed to exist in the real world. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Dare to Dream (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: A lot of the game's puzzles can't be reasoned out, and require the player to just try everything and go over every pixel, until they find something that advances the game. Like using a dead fish to unlock a door elsewhere on the game's map, or thinking to use a shotgun on a boat's porthole to make an item you aren't told about go shooting out of its smokestack. Or perhaps the piece de resistance, that you're supposed to pick up a skull, go back and throw it through a window, pick up the glass shards, and use them to cut a flower, which you then hold up to turn a menacing bat to stone. While this can be excused with the explanation that the game takes place inside a young boy's imagination, it doesn't make the experience of actually playing the game better. | |

Mental World: The first installment is just comprised of making your way through a weird dream, but the second and third involve journeys through the light and dark parts of Tyler's imagination. The first side encountered is bright and cheerful, and looks like a Saturday morning cartoon full of Funny Animal characters. The other is Tyler's personal hell, with the landscapes representing negative emotions, and some of the inventory items representing something Tyler hates dealing with in real life. | |

Pixel Hunt | |
| Dare to Dream (Video Game) / int_8fcb1ef4 | comment |
Pixel Hunt: The first game has a pile of skulls in a strange windmill. You need to pick up one of them to solve another puzzle, but you can't just click the pile and take one, you have to mouse around in the pile until the cursor changes to indicate that you're hovering over the right specific otherwise-unmarked skull. There's a pile of dust on the first screen of Episode 3 that you need to pick up. It is completely invisible and the only way you'll find it is if you happen to mouse over that spot and see your cursor change to indicate an interactable object. | |

Repression Never Ends Well | |
| Dare to Dream (Video Game) / int_962badd5 | comment |
Repression Never Ends Well: Tyler's psychologist discerns that showing no negative emotions despite the death of his beloved father is a severe tendency of repression, until all of those bottled up negative emotions coalesced into an entirely separate, entirely evil personality taking root in his mind. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Dare to Dream (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The "Story so far" of episode 1 has Tyler's mother say that Terry is "not exactly" Tyler's best friend, and the episode ends with the realization that they're having a Shared Dream. Throughout the game, Terry doesn't appear anywhere other characters can see him, or do anything Tyler doesn't know about. Turns out that Terry is Tyler's Imaginary Friend, much the same way that Christian is his imaginary enemy. | |

| Dare to Dream (Video Game) / int_c26e2b1 | comment |
New Powers as the Plot Demands: The Key of Enigami, the Macguffin that opens doors into Dream Lands, is also used in the ending to destroy the Big Bad. It's made clear that Tyler knew it could be used this way, but where he got the information is a total mystery, especially since it wasn't mentioned at all until it happened. | |

Cerebus Syndrome: After a mundane-yet-surreal episode 1 and a goofy-cartoony episode 2, episode 3 sends Tyler to Hell itself, with spooky forests and cemeteries full of bones and blood. The earlier goofiness is quite forgotten. | |

Empty Room Psych | |
| Dare to Dream (Video Game) / int_dae59ff8 | comment |
Empty Room Psych: There are some areas that seem like they should be relevant, but have no purpose. One's in the second episode, a statue garden with a likeness of Bouf, a character from the first episode, and a sad turtle that otherwise doesn't appear, and who seems to be looking at something on the ground. Seems like a place you're supposed to do something, but really just there to fill space. | |
