2D Platformer ‘Dream Alone’ Wakes To Nintendo Switch

Published

on

Fans of WarSaw Games’ horror adventure game Dream Alone will now have another platform to choose from, as today the company announced that the game will be headed to the Nintendo Switch. Set for release for Steam on March 21st, 2018 (with Nintendo Switch, XBox One and iOS coming at a later date), the game is a 2D puzzle platformer (similar in the vein of Inside or Limbo), which is described as being “Burtonesque” in its art style. And given what’s been revealed so far, that’s not an exaggeration.

In Dream Alone, the player assumes the role of a young man named Irra, whose village has been struck by a mysterious sickness. People fall into death-like comas, and when the Irra’s family becomes affected by the disease, he must find the mythical Lady Death, who is supposed to have powers that can stop or even revert the disease. Along the way, Irra can overcome obstacles by switching between real life and an alternative reality, and by creating a clone of himself.

If you enjoyed either Limbo or Inside (and come on, who hasn’t?), then Dream Alone seems to be right up your alley. To find out more about the game, head on over to its official site.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
