Dreams of Another

When I spoke with Baiyon last summer at BitSummit about his upcoming game, Dreams of Another, my takeaway was one of fascination and confusion. While he had explained the concept well – and my hands on with the demo gave me a general idea – the execution of it all seemed abstract, at best. Using guns and grenades to create instead of destroy, to interact with objects and glean their stories just for the sake of hearing, and focusing on your own perspective instead of the game’s narrativ...

Dreams of Another is the Waking Life game I never thought I wanted.

A release that bets on its own aesthetic and rhythm, without fear of alienating part of the audience.

Dreams of Another is just about the most confounding game I have ever played. There is no creation without destruction, says the game, so you use an assault rifle to shoot the world back together from the clouds of bubbles around you. Meanwhile, you’re following the footsteps of a mole who dies once you get there, picking up random engagement rings or other stuff off the floor to give to a soldier who can’t shoot a gun, who tends to reward you with some grenades. Every detail from every angle in this game is weird. Listen, I’m King Weird – I reviewed and enjoyed Blippo+ in the last few months ...
