About Dreamed Away

Dreamed Away is an emotional 2D action-adventure RPG set in France in the 90s. You play as Théo, a boy lost in a dark, mysterious world, trying hard to find his sister. The game focuses on the bond between siblings, fear of death and questioning reality. The immersive storytelling, diverse setting with a vibrant color palette and varied environment, altogether with detailed, aesthetic pixel art, aims to give the player a new perspective on the action-adventure RPG genre.

Dreamed Away is more than just a game. It’s an intense reflection of the developer’s own story, born at the same time as his second child. The game’s world is built around the main character’s – Theo’s – bond with his sister Louise as well as his desire to find and reconnect with her. The story takes place in a cozy little village in Brittany, where the surroundings tell you a story about a safe, calm, and happy place. But mystery steps in. A darkness is encroaching. It’s unsettled, shady. It’s a game about a young boy questioning his sense of reality and sanity.
While trapped alone in a world where he constantly faces his fears. Such an experience of internalizing doubts and fears is how the game was born.
