I dream of you and ice cream is a game about imperialism, the loss of identity and personal sacrifice. A sinister, doll-like entity has enslaved all mankind. Inside the complex where, every day, the entity questions world leaders about aspects of humanity - a potentially lethal process - an old scientist of unspecified gender is building a machine. Clinging to a few precious memories, with each passing day the scientist gathers components and toils on their obscure project, as the clock ticks relentlessly towards a horrifying climax. I dream of you and ice cream is a point-and-click adventure game with a very simple interface and an emphasis on puzzle solving. For every two puzzles solved, players are rewarded with a partial solution which can be used in another puzzle. There are no spoken lines or written dialogue in the game: Everything is communicated through speech bubbles, symbols and emotions.

Press reviews: “The developers have intertwined the symbology beautifully, allowing gamers to interpret the story differently.[...] The dreaming about eating an ice cream cone and knowing what this dream can be interpreted as meaning further shows the developers brilliance that brings this game to life. Two thumbs up from me to the developers for adding that extra layer to this game other than relying on what could just be the rote action of solving a bunch of puzzles.” 9/10 – Hooked Gamers “[...] I dream of you and ice cream does take it to all-new, far more compelling (and stranger) heights. While being totally original in its delivery and themes, the story underpinning this tantalizing indie is steeped in meaning [...]” The Gamer
