The main character, a boy named Irra, can overcome obstacles by switching between real life and an alternative reality, and by creating a clone of himself! It\u2019s one of those easy to learn, hard to survive games.<\/p>\n<p>In the game, a mysterious sickness strikes a quiet village. People, one by one, fall into a coma, whole families lying down in a death-like state. When the hero\u2019s family becomes affected by the disease, he starts a dangerous journey to find the mythical Lady Death, who is supposed to have powers, that can stop or even revert the disease. The hero travels through many levels designed as forest, cemetery, battlefield, ghost town etc.<\/p>\n<p>All (or nearly all) levels have their alternative reality versions, slightly different, with a few more objects or differently located traps. As the story develops, the player uncovers more about main hero\u2019s past, his motivation and dark secrets.<\/p>\n<p>A mistake, wrong jump or simply being not careful enough equals death. Precision jumps and quick running is, however, not enough. Some traps need to be deactivated. Some objects, like stones or crates, need to be moved into certain position. Sometimes there\u2019s no object to move or trigger to switch unless the hero uses one of his special powers, which are available scarcely during the game. <\/p>\n<p>The hero can jump into an alternative reality. Some traps can be avoided only if time moves slower than usual, again, thanks to the hero\u2019s another special ability. In some cases, the hero can even create a clone of himself!<\/p>\n<p><em>Dream Alone<\/em> will also be released on Steam, Mac, and iPhone, and Xbox One on March 21st, 2018.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fj6Z3PLJb5o?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><center> <\/p>\n<div class=\"tumblr-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/embed.tumblr.com\/embed\/post\/jQUko9niqkGxW6XoVVWQ4w\/169757975220\" data-did=\"53498727d8404aafcb73a078a0dc428f85b27a90\"><a href=\"http:\/\/darkainartsgamers.tumblr.com\/post\/169757975220\/more-at-httpgamersdarkainartscom\">http:\/\/darkainartsgamers.tumblr.com\/post\/169757975220\/more-at-httpgamersdarkainartscom<\/a><\/div>\n<p>  <script async src=\"https:\/\/assets.tumblr.com\/post.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2D platformer Dream Alone is coming to Nintendo Switch.
