Publisher Skybound Games and developer Nice Dream announced a release date for Goodnight Universe, their new narrative adventure game where you play as a baby with psychic powers.
Goodnight Universe is set to launch for Windows PC (via Steam), Switch 2, and now Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PS5 as well, on November 11th.
Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus a new trailer:
You are Isaac, a 6-month-old baby, developing mysterious psychic powers. What you want most is to be loved and accepted by your family, but a secretive tech corporation wants you for their own. The game features an immersive “camera as controller” mode, expanding on the innovative use of camera-based technology that the development team is known for.
On camera-compatible platforms, Goodnight Universe uses the innovative “camera as controller” mode that debuted in Before Your Eyes, but now in new and inventive ways as you step into the role of Isaac, a 6-month-old baby developing mysterious psychic powers.
The leading cast includes Lewis Pullman (Thunderbolts*, Top Gun Maverick) as the main character Isaac, and Kerri Kenney-Silver (Reno 911, The Four Seasons), Al Madrigal (The Daily Show, Lopez vs. Lopez), and Tessa Espinola (S.W.A.T, The Big Show Show) as Isaac’s family. Beau Bridges (Matlock, Homeland), Timothy Simons (VEEP, Nobody Wants This.) and Sarah Burns (Barry, Unfrosted) are cast in supporting character voice roles.
