Title and main menu

Opening cinematic

The game's starting location

Talking to the doctor

Looking at the table next to Laura's bed

I need to unbend these nails to get into the drawer

I have entered Laura's dream

I have neutralized a beholder

I need all the parts to do this puzzle

Farther in this nightmare, in a graveyard outside a church.

Inside the church

Talking to Laura after I save her, or this part of her, from being buried alive.

I have put part of the dream-catcher back in place

I unlocked an achievement

The dream world has changed

Now to complete this puzzle

I have entered a new nightmare

A cut scene

I need to save her from the ice

Inside the boathouse. Apparently, there is nothing useful in here.

Another puzzle

At the top center is a beholder

In the upper right is a different looking beholder

There are two ways to play

At the start of the game there is an optional tutorial

Laura keeps a diary and as we progress we collect pages of it but not in a sequential order

This is early on in the game, before entering Laura's dreams, and I've used the hint system to tell me what to do next

The game's configuration options

This is where unlocked achievements appear. Can you tell I'm playing the myrealgames.com version of the game.

When completed this is a music puzzle, As the tape plays coloured circles appear in the window and I have to press the right keys at the right time.

Tim features in Laura's dreams, here he is inside a carnivorous plant.

Another of Laura's nightmares is set in a funfair. If you look carefully you can see her stuck upside down on the roller coaster

A game within a game. I can't play these runny jumpy things in real life let alone in someone else's dream. I skipped this one.

There are a couple of puzzles where the player gets a RESET option, this is one of them. The object here is to drag the mouse and trace lines to connect like symbols with no line crossing another

After finding all the pieces these rods have to be used to connect the lights. Once a connector has been dragged into the puzzle it expands

The wires have to be arranged so that the colour of the wires corresponds to the numbers on the dynamite sticks

This is a variation on the Tower of Hanoi type of puzzle

Laura's in trouble again. I really liked the machine that lowers the guillotine by increments. Very ingenious

If you like potion mixing puzzles then there's something in the game for you, once you find all the ingredients that is
