21/08/2025, Warsaw, Poland: indie game publisher Pineapple Works, together with Nicolas Petton, French developer of Dreamed Away, are happy to announce that the game is going to be released on PC, Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 and Xbox One & Series S/X on October 23rd, 2025, after a successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2024.
Dreamed Away shares many similarities in general tone, art direction and design with games like Earthbound, Undertale and Omori.
Dreamed Away is a pixel art indie RPG whose action takes place in France in the 90s. On a rainy summer night, Théo wakes up in his bedroom and realizes his parents and his sister Louise have disappeared. The true nature of the world lays itself bare. Ghosts and Phantoms haunt Théo inside the catacombs and other dark places where he searches for his missing sister - always a step behind and seemingly never able to catch up.
Key Features:
- Detailed aesthetic pixel art
- Immersive storytelling that takes you on a journey to solve a mystery
- Fast-paced combat system made of mini-games which mixes turn-based strategy with bullet dodging and unique time-based QTEs.
- Unique abilities and equipment
- Psychological horror elements
- An original soundtrack
A free demo of the game is available on Steam, GOG and itch.io (Windows, Mac, Linux).
Demo gameplay lasts from an hour to an hour and a half.
