20 years ago i stumbled upon a "top dog" entry on Home of the Underdogs in the adventure section
part point and click adventure, part american gothic themed thriller, and part horror story; i've never found a comfortable label for it.
all these years have passed, and i'm still mesmerized by how unique the game is. some of david dew's bespoke animations still reign among the best i've ever seen in a 2d game.
it's still hard to imagine this entire experience was crafted by only three people.
here are a couple of minutes of the intro and gameplay from creative reality's DreamWeb (1994)
