Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Dreamhold is an Interactive Fiction game specifically designed by Andrew Plotkin to introduce new players to the genre by providing a "tutorial voice" to guide them through the general mechanisms and gist of the game and making the puzzles relatively basic for people unfamiliar with IF tropes.Don't let this fool you into thinking that this is a short or simple game, however, especially since it won awards for Best Puzzles and Use of Medium in the 2004 XYZZY competition. While The Dreamhold does rely on the overused "You Wake Up in a Room with no memory of who you are" IF plot, it makes full use of that plot. The rooms you need to explore are genuinely fascinating and lush with detail, the puzzles are clever without being too hard for each difficulty level, and the Jigsaw Puzzle Plot is effective enough to keep your attention and leave you with questions after the ending has rolled by. Plus, if "normal mode" is too easy for you, you can switch the game to "expert mode" to make the puzzles more challenging.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The game can be played online or downloaded here.

Beautiful Void: A text equivalent. The game features no other characters outside of brief flashbacks, leaving you to explore a varied and curious house on your own.

Alien Sky: The night sky becomes one of these, with new constellations, planets, and moons that weren't there before if you use the frost berries to turn the bonfire into burning ice.

Bizarrchitecture: The palace's architecture is a little...off sometimes.

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: This seems to be what happens to you in one ending.

Blackout Basement: Everything north of the Natural Passageway is too dark without a torch. And some of it can only be explored without a torch...

The Archmage: The Grey Wizard is strongly implied to be one of these.
