Dreamweb

Dreamweb is a dark, brooding game set in a dystopian near-future. You play Ryan, a bartender who is plagued by nightmares in this cyberpunk inspired adventure game. These nightmares eminate from the dreamweb, which affects the plane of your subconscious. The web has been corrupted by the presence of seven controlling figures and your job is to kill them, cleanse the web and save the world from madness. Considerable attention is paid to the game's atmosphere, but the value of a strong narrative is overlooked. The dialogue is functional rather than enjoyable. Puzzles have logical solutions, but the fact that you can pick up almost everything makes the solutions obscure at times. A prime example of style over content, but definitely worth a look for its gripping plot and very atmospheric gameplay. There's also a controversial and one of the earliest uncensored sex scenes in a mainstream PC game.

This game was banned for supposed "sexualised violence" in Australia. As a matter of fact, the screen shot shown here is from the offending scene. The player controlled character is about to off the guy there who happens to be in bed with his girl at the time. The game is definitely not intended for kids and contains both sex and violence. But any "sexualised violence" exists in the imagination of the base minded people who lack the education to know "sexualised" is not even a real word. Videogame designers take note: You can kill all the videogame characters you want, before they have sex, but never after.
