Previously announced as a PlayStation 5 exclusive, Dreams of Another has officially been announced for a PC release via Steam as well.
Right from the mind of Baiyon, the game is a unique title where destruction brings back life, and shooting objects will restore what once was.
Here is the game's official overview, trailer, image gallery, and Baiyon's profile as provided to us by the developer Q-Games.
Overview:
Dreams of Another is the latest title by multimedia artist Baiyon, the director of PixelJunk Eden. The game is built around the philosophical theme of "No Creation Without Destruction."
