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.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
