A boy returns to his countryside home after spending half a year in the city, only to discover the unimaginable — his elderly grandmother has transformed into a cute young girl! Hijinks ensue.
Short, cheap and comforting, despite not innovating the genre, A Winter's Daydream serves as "comfort food" for visual novel fans that are looking for a more brief experience.
While I’m generally a fan of visual novels, A Winter’s Daydream comes up a bit short. While I do enjoy unique story telling such as this and the genre as a whole seeing as it’s perfect for a relaxing gaming session, the lack of voice overs and replay value makes this hard to justify. The story is fun, unique and touching, but once you’ve experienced...
A Winter’s Daydream will set you back about a fiver to buy, which to be honest is still a little steep for the lack of interaction you get, so may only be worthwhile if you fancy the easy game completion.

A Winter's Daydream is the kind of indie visual novel that deserves support. It tells a good, interesting, and original story, with presentation that is inoffensive on every level, and some truly pleasant moments throughout. It's not a visual novel I'll ever replay, but I did enjoy every second I had with it.
