I'll be entirely honest, this isn't anything crazy. The combat is really simple, the plot isn't winning any awards, and the main appeal is getting the main character in sexy outfits. But... much like one sometimes craves junk food, sometimes people want a game like that. Something that isn't necessarily great and is probably bad for you, but you enjoy it nonetheless. That's basically what this game is: junk food in video game form, and for that I recommend it.

A simple short game, cute art and story is nice.
The battles repeat a few sequences so once you remember them the fights are quick and easy.
I fumbled a lot and reeeeeally suck at the avoiding tentacles during the running bit, but overall pretty good experience.
Definitely worth getting, even at full price.
I wouldn't want to wake up from This Man's amusement park either.
A few words are funny, probably something to do with the Korean locale to English text. There is also some white text over white background but typically not a problem.
Another problem is if you accidentally start a training battle during minigame or such, you're gonna' have to reload your save.

Play as a voluptuous supernatural investigator named Anna who travels to an amusement park constructed inside the imagination of a friendly gentleman who makes churros, cosplay outfits, and dances for her, where she decides to retire from her job and takes over the park, making that gentleman her father, and a self-doubting coworker tasked with detaining her into her boyfriend, while dealing with the mess a cute, awkward, and equally busty nightmare-fueled girl causes all over the place.
You basically get that and a whole bunch of other things in Black Dream, an adorable, fascinating, and overall sexy and strangely wholesome game. The protagonist is very whimsical but self-assured, and the characters have distinct personalities revealed with an incredible amount of original handmade full-screen pixel art scenes. It feels like something you would discover on the PC-98, or a classic OVA made into an interactive anime adventure. It's not a visual novel, but not quite a regular RPG. To say it's a hidden object game is not descriptive enough either I feel. Basically, Black Dream is like a toybox for you to uncover a ton of cute and well-made novelties that combine into an adventure with a comical, quirky, and surprisingly sentimental story.
The overall impression Black Dream gives is very much like a lucid dream, with curious, richly detailed, and highly animated environments. A core part of the game is obtaining cute and sexy outfits for Anna that show up in nearly all the hand-drawn cutscenes and the main battle system that drives the gameplay. These outfits can also change the way characters respond to you, and even unlock achievements, hidden scenes, and endings. Black dream has quite a lot to discover, and gets you interested from the start with a great animated title screen and introduction. The game prevents routine as it keeps reinventing itself as you play it. Even with a roughly seven hour runtime to uncover everything, it never feels like you see anything twice. You can easily tell that Black Dream is a labor of love.
Overall, I'd have to say this game is a very fun and good-natured adventure, and makes the best use out of one of the oldest (and greatest) rpgmaker engines. It just got a massive free upgrade too that overhauled the artwork, gameplay, and cutscenes, making it a much better and overall more coherent experience. While it's not made for any particular audience from what I can tell, Black Dream is one of those obscure indie games I think anybody willing to jump into something strange will enjoy quite a lot. Definitely a recommendation from me.

One of those gems that you can only find by scrolling through games for like a solid ten minutes.

A gorgeous short game.
Story, character interactions, and arts are the game's main selling point in my opinion. They are wonderful. The arts are lewd, no nudity though.
Gameplay is simple, can be a bit repetitive, but fun. The game is linear, with bonuses and secrets hidden here and there to find along the way. There are also a few kind of mini games to do, making it feels like you're enjoying the amusement park.
I'd recommend it at a discount if you're not sure it'll worth the price. I got mine from a bundle.

Hey, it's fine. Simple, light-hearted, hijinks with a fair amount of fanservice. That being said, it feels like a high quality freeware game more than a product I would buy. the content is minimal, and the Simon-Says style gameplay is somewhat grating over time. You spend too much time copying sequences on the directional pad for a game that really shouldn't have even bother putting in a combat mini-game.
It's like a sweet little treat at 5 bucks. I wouldn't buy at full price

This is a charming little game. The pixel art is all very cute, and the plot isn't extremely intricate and knows it, but still holds an interesting premise. The music in the game is also enjoyable, being presented with chiptunes. The game can be completed in roughly an hour and a half, but there is a little bit of replay value if you fail to do everything correctly the first time- multiple or "adjusted" endings, that kind of thing. Some of the dialogue and costumes are suggestive, but that's about as extreme as the content goes. The gameplay isn't particularly difficult, although the time limits of fights are a little unforgiving at times- thankfully, the developers allow you to restart without consequences in most of the game's battles.
I do have a few concerns. For one, the game doesn't seem to Fullscreen very well, distorting much of the visuals on my system. Apostrophes in the dialogue always show as bugged characters. Lastly, the dialogue in some spots is a little strange, I assume because of translation work? Also, the best way to make money is a slot machine game, and so save scumming, while annoying, is the best method. None of these particularly ruin the game, although the Fullscreen issue is the most disappointing in my eyes.
So all in all, a cute game worth checking out if you want to kill a little time and enjoy some cute pixel art.
