Kyoto-based creative studio Q-Games’ latest PixelJunk title, Dreams of Another (PS5, PS VR2, Steam), is out now.
The story revolves around two protagonists, “The Man in Pajamas” and “The Wandering Soldier” and as you progress through their thoughts, dreams and regrets you meet mysterious objects and strange characters that guide you further into the chaos. Use weapons to unveil the world around you as you go, completely reversing their traditional role in a game.
The newly released launch trailer showcases the innovative gameplay and surreal dreamlike world, accompanied by music from the game’s soundtrack which was composed by Baiyon, the director himself.
Dreams of Another is already winning awards from all around the world for Best Visual Art and Visual Design thanks to its unique point cloud rendering technology, which has helped Q-Games create a look like no other.
Additionally, PixelJunk Eden 2 (PS4/PS5/Steam), which Baiyon also directed, releases simultaneously today as well! A special discounted bundle containing both Dreams of Another and PixelJunk Eden 2, is available for purchase on the PlayStation and Steam Stores. PixelJunk Eden 2 is a dynamic 2D platformer in which you control a cute character called a Grimp and leap about a stage that you help grow yourself, climbing higher and collecting Spectra as you go.

About Dreams of Another
Dreams of Another is the latest title by multimedia artist Baiyon, the director of PixelJunk Eden and PixelJunk Eden 2. The game is built around the philosophical theme of "No Creation Without Destruction." Rather than destroying objects by shooting, as in traditional shooting games, here, your shots materialize and create the world around you. This unconventional mechanic offers a gameplay experience that challenges the norms of the genre and invites players into a whole new dimension.

Dreams of Another Soundtrack Single
A Farewell Redrawn (from “Dreams of Another”) Streaming Link
It is extremely rare for a game director to also compose the soundtrack for a game they direct. It is likewise unusual for them to handle art, story and script on top of everything else. By doing this, in Dreams of Another Baiyon has created a truly integrated multimedia experience.
This track that has been released today was featured in the game’s announcement trailer, where its nostalgic piano melody and immersive soundscape resonated with many fans. Included with its release is a hand-drawn cover illustration by Baiyon himself.
This piece of music was composed with the image of “the sound of a piano practice piece softly drifting from an elementary school music room after class,” evoking the game’s ephemeral, dreamlike feel. It is now available on all major streaming platforms.
