Kyoto-based studio Q-Games has officially revealed Dreams of Another, the latest project from multimedia artist Baiyon, best known as the director of PixelJunk Eden. The announcement took place during PlayStation’s State of Play, where Baiyon himself introduced everyone to the game’s unique and thought-provoking concept.
Breaking away from traditional shooter mechanics, Dreams of Another is built on the theme of “No Creation Without Destruction.” Unlike conventional games where shooting is synonymous with eliminating enemies, this title takes an entirely different approach—firing a shot doesn’t destroy but instead brings the world into existence. This fresh take on the genre redefines player interactions, challenging established conventions and offering a deeply immersive and artistic experience.
Check out the official Announcement Trailer for Dreams of Another below:
Scheduled for release on PS5 and PS VR2 in 2025, the game promises a visually stunning world crafted using innovative point cloud technology. You will navigate a dreamlike landscape filled with enigmatic characters, including figures like “The Man in Pajamas” and “The Wandering Soldier,” whose poetic and cryptic dialogues add depth to the narrative. The game also introduces a philosophical dimension, as the in-game objects themselves express witty and unconventional thoughts on societal norms, prompting you to reflect on reality from a new perspective.
Baiyon, who not only directed the project but also composed its emotionally rich soundtrack, shared insights into the creative process behind Dreams of Another. His vision stemmed from a lifelong passion for video games and a desire to explore their traditions from unconventional angles. By flipping familiar mechanics on their heads, he sought to create an experience that merges interactivity, art, and music into a seamless whole. The result is a game that feels like painting on a digital canvas, where each action contributes to the formation of something entirely new.
Beyond its artistic and narrative ambitions, Dreams of Another is also designed to take full advantage of modern gaming technology. With PS VR2 support, you can immerse yourself in its mesmerizing world on an even deeper level, intuitively interacting with its unique mechanics. Additionally, the game is enhanced for the PlayStation 5 Pro, ensuring fluid visuals and high-resolution graphics that bring its surreal environments to life.
Baiyon’s involvement in the game extends beyond directing and composing music—he also crafted the entire story, carefully shaping the dialogue to resonate with the emotions and themes woven throughout the experience. He describes the sentiments expressed by the game’s characters and objects as lyrical, meant to harmonize with the music he composed. Through meticulous experimentation and fine-tuning with his team, he has brought his vision to life in a way that invites you to see video games not just as interactive entertainment but as a profound artistic medium.
Dreams of Another is slated for release on PS5 and PS VR2 in 2025. Additional details about the game such as a confirmed release date will be announced later. A PSN store page is live for Dreams of Another where you can add it to your wishlist.
