I dream of She Dreams Elsewhere
One game which caught my eye during all of the E3 everything is one I’m apparently late to notice: surreal RPGShe Dreams Elsewhere. A new trailer with mock VHS effects showed off its shopping mall level with a CGA-ish palette and sure, that was interesting enough, but then it hit a battle and WHAT HELLO THIS IS GORGEOUS.

Hold on a sec. Let’s rewind to that battle montage in the middle:
She Dreams Elsewhere is about Thalia Sullivan, who’s riddled with anxiety and oh, also in a coma. Yeah, you can guess what it’s up to, but the feelings sound real and the writing good.Alice BeeandSin Vegaboth praised the game before, having played a demo a year ago.
While the character art is what most caught my eye, I like the contrast and collage together with the quite different style of the world art.
Love a big aesthetic combined with a big mood.
