The player character is thrown into an enclosed world filled with sewage, with decaying wooden buildings and rusted metals. And he discovers that his body has been changed into something in between a machine and a living creature. He wanders around this structurally complex maze-like world in search of a way out. "Garage: Bad Dream Adventure" was originally released as a PC adventure game in 1999. In this game, the player character enters his inner world through a psychotherapeutic machine. He is turned into an odd-looking biological machine and searches for a way to escape from that world. Because of its unique world setting, it is described as one of the top 3 warped games or bizarre games. It is basically a mystery-solving exploratory adventure game. But it also has many RPG elements such as character development through body modifications and intricate fishing system. And the story questions the ambiguity of escaping from the world and staying in the world. One of the features of Garage is its detailed world building. Elements like energy circulation, ecosystem and how the world came about are intertwined tightly, and are reflected in the game system, bringing to life the feel of the deep another world. The unique feeling of strangeness and anxiety surrounding the whole game, even though it is not a horror or depressing game, is created by these settings and system. In this mobile remastered version, almost all images have been retouched, videos have been revised using AI frame interpolation, user-interface and game balance have been improved, and new chapters, subquests and multiple endings have been added.

I’m interested in hearing your thoughts when you have time. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,342 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #5 metalcasket, Dec 12, 2021 You know, I really don't have any thoughts so far! Everything is just so bleak and stepped in old school point and click logic, that I have no idea what I’m supposed to do, but what sets it apart from P&Cs back in the day is the inclusion of ego and fuel systems and the ability to die. Fishing is also apparently very integrated into the game and I’m absolutely terrible at it. I really don’t know how much I’m going to be able to play the game without using a walkthrough (if there even is one), but regardless, I urge everyone reading this to look up the game’s history. This was a very rare, obscure game that was only available in Japanese, and could have been lost forever. Just having it preserved like this is a big, big thing.

I also was intrigued by the game’s history when I posted the thread. Sounds like it’s got that old school difficulty, presumably because of a lack of hand holding and generally obscure story. Thanks man! Alex DeLargest likes this.

And here we are. Garage: BDA is opaque, unsettling, and unfortunately is not universal (here’s hoping that changes now that it has been released on Steam), but for the price of an expensive cafe coffee or cheap draft beer, I strongly recommend giving it a try. Many little bits evoke nostalgic memories of 90s puzzles adventures, but overall in terms of atmosphere, gameplay, even the lore, there’s nothing else quite like it.
