Also Tearaway developer!
Media Molecule (LittleBigPlanet,Tearaway) has shown how its interesting new game,Dreams, works with a live demo of the game in alpha state that included plenty of rat possession.
Every player creates a custom Imp who follows you inDreams; this one Calcifer orange and French. You use the Imp, controlled with the DualShock 4 motion controls, to engage with the world almost like a computer mouse.
The Imp can also possess characters, vehicles, and inanimate objects. Each Dream can go from traditional platforming to sandbox to puzzles; the one on display was set wide-open so you can do anything, in this case plopping a bunch of trees around, then a small house. Going through the door led somewhere completely different, a large stone study. “Almost anything, like a well or a manhole cover” can be a gateway to another dream.
UnlikeLittleBigPlanet, which separates “play and create,”Dreamsmashes them up, though you may lock your levels down more, too. Plus, giant macaroon dessert world! Looks pretty neat. There’s a beta coming 2016, too.
