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.
Impulsegamer: 4 / 5
A subversive, existential shooter for lovers of games as art and art house movies.
WayTooManyGames: 8 / 10 by Oliver Shellding
Dreams of Another is a surreal sensation of mixing creation through destruction and conversation through solitude. You come away with things on your mind, and often forget what your intent was other than to simply “understand.” This has the panache and the flair of a title that will glitter brightly for those who pick it up, and could be enjoyed by people who aren’t traditionally gamers or into shooters specifically.
Final Weapon: 3.5 / 5 by Jordan Brown
Dreams of Another is destined to be a polarizing title, but those who gel with its bizarre storytelling and gameplay will find an experience like no other. Q-Games continues to carve its own niche in the gaming landscape, and fans of the studio's previous titles will find much to love here.
