Indie gem Lucy Dreaming is coming to Playstation this month
In October 2022, we reviewed Lucy Dreaming - a hillarious and thoughtful indie point and click adventure from British studio Tall Story Games.
It's a game that draws inspiration from comedy classics like Blackadder and Monty Python, while remaining a heartfelt homage to adventure games of times gone by. Think games like "Monkey Island" and "Day of the Tentacle", which still have a cult following to this day.
You follow a girl called Lucy, who is plagued by nightmares she must learn to control. You step into her dreams, explore her subconscious mind, and trip across a family secret which might explain the darkness that's gripping her slip.

Since its release, Lucy Dreaming has performed exceptionally well in reviews, garnering a staggering 99% Positive reviews on Steam, and performing well across a whole stack of awards throughout the industry.
The developer has been working hard, rolling it out on Switch, Xbox, and even iOS, with the console collection completing on 31 July 2025 when it releases on PS5 and PS4.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to bring Lucy Dreaming to new audiences.", says developer Tom Hardwidge.
"It’s been a joy watching players fall in love with Lucy’s story and we can’t wait to share her world with a whole new audience of gamers. We’ve poured so much heart into this game, and we’re excited for more people to experience its humour, puzzles, and charm for the first time."
It's not just a port to Playstation though - the game is also updating to add French, Spanish, and Italian localisation. This isn't a simple translation however.
The developers promise "careful attention" to translating the games "wit, wordplay, and cultural quirks", making sure that the jokes work in other languages, and are culturally appropriate in doing so.
Although we don't have any official word from the developer, the delayed release on Playstation won't come as much of a surprise. Sony impose pretty hefty restrictions on games in their store, things like Exit Game buttons aren't allowed, and games often have to have moving parts on loading screens over a certain timeframe.
Tall Story Games aren't stopping here though, with two more releases slated for some time next year.
There's Heir of the Dog, which sees Cummerbund Bandersnatch transform thanks to his uncle's secret formula, and Adventures of a Cat in Space, which is a heatwarming collaboration with children's musical theatre company Little Seeds Music.
Demos are available for both, with full releases scheduled for sometime in 2026. In the meantime, there's a Platinum trophy available on the
