WarSaw Games and Fat Dog Games have released their 2D horror-platformer Dream Alone.
The “ultra difficult classic 2D platformer with a dark story” game is now available for Windows PC and the Nintendo Switch. Featured above, you can view a new trailer for the game.
It’s worth pointing out PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions are planned for a release sometime in Q4 of this year.
Here’s a rundown on the game:
2D platformer with classic gameplay, unique abilities, deadly traps, horror elements and a dark storyline.
A mysterious sickness strikes a quiet village, one by one, people fall into a coma. When your family becomes affected by the disease, you start a dangerous journey to find the mythical Lady Death who is said to have powers that can stop or even revert the disease.
The story takes you through many lands, including forests, marshlands, caves and factories. Most of the levels have an alternate reality version, you can use this reality to get through areas you weren’t able to before and discover new secrets.
A mistake, a wrong jump or simply not being careful enough is sure to equal death. Precise jumps and running, however, are not enough. Some traps need to be deactivated using the hero’s clone ability which allows the player to leave behind a copy of themselves and use it to activate any levers or pressure plates.
Key Features:
- Old School Horror aesthetic
- Atmospheric story reminiscent of dark fairy tales
- Beautiful and minimalist original score
- Unique gameplay mechanics, explore alternate realities and clone yourself
