Nintendo Life: CIRCLE Entertainment has published a good variety of games on DSiWare, covering almost any genre that can feasibly work on the ageing service. Its own take on the sim style began with Bookstore Dream, which while owing much to similar smartphone games was a solid effort. Unlike that book publishing title, Publisher Dream has a more distinctive approach than high profile contemporaries on iOS and Android, but struggles to progress from grand idea to finished code.
GP writer Elizabeth reviews Publisher Dream on the 3DS.
gamrReview's Xavier Griffiths: "I came away from Publisher Dream feeling ashamed I had spent so much time with it, doubly so after writing such a detailed review. Honestly, the game deserves no attention whatsoever and it would be great if I could just wake up and realize that my experience with was all just a dull dream."
