Description

Released in 1986 by Victor Musical Industries, *DAY DREAM* is a notable science fiction adventure game penned by Hiroshi Minamiyama, the former editor-in-chief of *SF Magazine*. This title distinguishes itself through a "multicast" system, allowing players to choose between three roles—diver, policeman, or pilot—each offering unique story paths and difficulty levels. Regardless of the chosen character, the narrative initiates with the player abducted by aliens and confined in an isolated chamber, setting the stage for a tense escape and subsequent interstellar adventure. This work reflects the era's sophisticated approach to narrative-driven gaming for the PC-8801, blending professional literary composition with interactive play.

Story

Written by Hiroshi Minamiyama, the former editor-in-chief of *SF Magazine*, this science fiction adventure game challenges players to choose from one of three distinct roles: a diver, a policeman, or a pilot. Regardless of the character selected, the story begins when the protagonist is abducted by mysterious aliens and awakens in a confined space. Each career path offers a unique narrative experience and varying levels of difficulty as players attempt to escape their imprisonment. From this moment of confinement, the characters are thrust into a journey of unknown adventures across the cosmos.
