Pineapple Works :

1/02/2024, Warsaw, Poland: Dreamed Away, from French developer Nicolas Petton and Polish indie game publisher Pineapple Works, has launched a Kickstarter campaign today, for gathering funds to support the game’s development.
 

Dreamed Away is a pixel art indie RPG, heavily inspired by games such as Earthbound and Omori, whose action takes place in France in the 90s.
 

The game is slated to be published by Pineapple Works on PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One & Series S/X in Q1 2025.

Dreamed Away is an RPG in which you play as a little boy, Théo, who is lost in a dark and mysterious world that seems like a dream. On a rainy summer night, Théo wakes up in his bedroom and realizes his parents and his sister Louise have disappeared. The true nature of the world lays itself bare. Ghosts, Phantoms and Revenants haunt Théo inside the catacombs and dark places where he searches for his sister - always a step behind and never able to catch up.
