Dreams of Another inverts the core mechanics of third-person action games, as the player's projectiles materialize the environment rather than destroy it. The world is created through these actions, taking shape around the character as they explore. The game unfolds in an ephemeral, dreamlike environment, directly linking every action to creation. Instead of depleting the landscape, every shot contributes to its creation. Players forge their own path forward, and the core gameplay is built on a complete rethinking of genre conventions.
