Dreams of Another Debuts First PS VR2 Gameplay — A Visionary Experience from Baiyon and Q-Games
Acclaimed Kyoto-based studio Q-Games has unveiled the first-ever gameplay footage of its upcoming philosophical action-adventure title, Dreams of Another, now optimized for PlayStation VR2. Directed by multimedia visionary Baiyon, best known for PixelJunk Eden, this surreal exploration game is shaping up to be one of the most distinctive releases of 2025.
Scheduled to launch later this year on PS5, PS VR2, and Steam, Dreams of Another challenges conventional game mechanics with a bold, thought-provoking twist: your weapons don’t destroy — they create.
A Shooter Where Destruction Gives Birth to Creation
Built around the central theme of “No Creation Without Destruction,” Dreams of Another invites players into a dreamlike realm where firing a weapon doesn’t obliterate enemies, but instead materializes the world itself.
Using innovative point cloud rendering, environments are constructed from countless shimmering particles, creating a visual experience that feels ethereal and ephemeral. In VR, the result is even more surreal — your body seemingly dissolves into the particle-filled world around you, turning every movement into a mesmerizing interaction.
The PS VR2 version features both third-person and first-person perspectives, letting players explore the dreamworld through different lenses of immersion. Whether floating above or fully embodying your character, Dreams of Another offers a profoundly personal journey.
Meet the Dreamers: Characters & Philosophy
In addition to its groundbreaking mechanics, Dreams of Another is rich in narrative and poetic symbolism. Players will encounter mysterious figures like “The Man in Pajamas” and “The Wandering Soldier”, each offering cryptic insights and stories that unravel the world’s deeper meanings.
Director Baiyon, also the composer of the game’s experimental and emotionally resonant soundtrack, weaves a tapestry of thoughts, visuals, and sounds that challenge societal norms and reflect on identity, creation, and purpose.
