Dreams of Another is a shooter game that flips the traditional concept on its head. Instead of using your gun to destroy, you use it to create the world around you. The game's graphics have a dreamy, deconstructed quality, and when you shoot, the unfocused scenes solidify into objects like buildings and people. The game ends with a conventional shootout against a sentient manhole cover, adding a surprising twist to an otherwise unconventional game. The game's innovative concept has left us intrigued and looking forward to what developer Q-Games will do with the final version.

The game's simplicity and charm make it one of the standout games of the conference.
