As I Began to Dream <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As I Began to Dream blends hand-drawn visuals and puzzle-platforming into an emotional tale about a little girl named Lily navigating a dream world shaped by grief. With art inspired by classic children\u2019s storybooks, the game gently reveals her past as she pieces together her memories. Poignant and beautiful, it\u2019s a journey that lingers long after you set the controller down.<\/p>\n
