Weird point and click game, can be finished within less than an hour, but still really love it! Multiple endings and very atmospheric!

How can you finish the game in less than an hour :D it took me 24min to find 9 photos in the first level :D (haven't even done any of the quests or challenges or whatever they are called)

I liked the game, although it seems like the point of the author's every reflection was that there is no real point in anything, which is a really easy and defeatist point of view. I haven't unlocked every ending though, and it's just the way it appeared to me, so I might be wrong.

@ScotlandUnited - I would construe the author's point differently: there are no easy solutions. No matter which road you take, there will be problems to overcome.
Possible spoilers, depending on what constitutes a spoiler for you in this context:
I identified very heavily with this game. The main character is about where I was in my first year of law school. She pursued a career that everyone recommended, expecting it to bring her money, security, and all the benefits plastered on the billboards in The Road Less Traveled level of the game, but is starting to realize that the road goes on, that there will always be problems ahead. The pressure to jump ship becomes huge, to find some other path in life that is not so fraught with obstacles.
To anyone with an artistic bent, a creative career can seem like a way to avoid the pressure and expectations. In the main character's case her creative outlet appears to be photography. The Road Less Traveled represents a career as a photographer ... but as she cuts through the forest in her dreams, she realizes that such a choice would carry its own pitfalls. In the end it is not which path she takes, but that she realizes there is no easy way out, that solving life's problems as they come at you is simply part of becoming an adult.

Loved it too ! But to be honest , i'd prefer it to be a little more challenging . For example make dreams kind of intercross with each other, so that you would have to recollect the whole thing like a puzzle or smth. like that,And...a little more levels would be great too.
Great game. I really like trying something different, there doesn't always seem to be a lot of real creativity in games these days so a game like Trauma stands out.Love the music and the overall atmosphere. I got this game as part of the Humble Bundle,didn't know anything about it, but I'm glad I tried it.Thanks to Krystian and the other designers.

I felt that way too. And the game was just "okay" in my opinion, I think I would have liked it much more if it provided longer gameplay and included a bit more puzzle challenge. Sorry if I have too high demands, lol.

I like it a lot too. I'm taking my time with it in between other games, so I still have the last dream to complete.
Even though I generally enjoy games like this, I remember being hesitant to play just because the game description sounded so full of itself. I'm glad I gave it a chance, anyway.

I loved it as well, as someone with artistic tendencies who was pressured into a field that I didn't really want to pursue I really identified with the protagonist of the game. A wonderful experience! I wish they made more games like these.
I love this game.
It is truly a successful unique experiment, something that doesn't happen very often.
10 out of 10 in my opinion.
Ah, and please, do NOT pay attention to Metacritic. Sometimes it isn't fair at all, like in this case.
