Release Date: October 10, 2025
A third-person exploration game with an abstract visual style, made by the creators of the PixelJunk series. Dreams of Another has us playing as a character discovering dreamlike locations. The weapons in the game aren't used for destruction, but instead for shooting at the fog and creating new things.
The independent studio Q-Games has made its mark in the history of video games primarily through the PixelJunk series. Nevertheless, from time to time, developers from Kyoto engage in various "side projects." One of them is Dreams of Another described here, which is an exploratory action game. A unique aspect of this game is that shooting does not destroy the environment, but creates it.
In Dreams of Another we view the action from a third-person perspective (TPP).
During the game we play as two characters, the Man in Pajamas and the Wandering Soldier. We explore colorful, dreamlike locations and uncover a story conveyed through dialogues conducted not only with NPCs but also with objects.
Although our characters carry firearms, they operate in an unusual way. The environment is covered with a kind of "fog", and by shooting at it, we gradually discover its subsequent elements. Besides a machine gun, we can also acquire a rocket launcher, which allows us to "uncover" larger areas of terrain and the objects within them in one go.
The graphics in Dreams of Another are maintained in a unique, abstract style. The gameplay is accompanied by music composed by Bayion (Tomohisa Kuramitsu), who is also the director of this project.

Game Ratings for Dreams of Another Video Game.
TheSixthAxis: 3 / 10 by Gareth Chadwick
It's not often I see a game that has one interesting idea that it leans on it so heavily that it snaps. "No creation without destruction" or not, there isn't enough game here to wrap around the cool visuals and the issue is so egregious that you grow tired of those visuals very quickly. Boring and frustrating, the only dream you'll have here is of playing another game.
FingerGuns: 5 / 10 by Sean Davies
Exploring the intrinsic link between creation and destruction, Dreams of Another hints at hidden depth, but fails to deliver it in a clear and understandable way. Repetition and disjointed storytelling undermines the narrative which is otherwise propped up by interesting art direction and a top quality soundtrack.
Pixel Byte: 7.5 / 10 by Luis Avilés
An art exhibit where you’re the subject, there is much to ponder about while playing this experience. Objects talk about their impermanence, characters reminisce openly about how finite life is. Even though there are somewhat clear goals, such as ringing a bell at the top of a tower, Dreams of Another is anything but what you would consider a straightforward video game.
