So, here’s the thing. This game—Through The Nightmares or something like that—is about to drop on the Switch. Pingle Studio teamed up with Sandman Team (that name, though?) to bring us this… experience. June 19th, 2025. Mark your calendars—or don’t. I mean, do people still use calendars? Anyway, let’s dive into this weirdness.
Picture this: a wicked god dude, Morpheus, is locking up kids in these eternal nightmares. Enter Sandman. Not the Metallica song, but a spirit or something whose job is to bring chill vibes to sleep. He’s on a mission to crash through these whacked-out dream worlds and save the day. Or night? Heck, both?
They say it’s gonna be a real sweat-inducing, precision-jumping type of ordeal. Imagine jumping through 45 levels, tangled in three story chapters. Childhood fears come alive. Think spooky forests and creepy crawlies under beds. Yikes! Makes my skin crawl just thinking about it.
Oh, and Sandman’s got this neat trick where he can change his size. Like, boom—tiny enough to sneak through cracks or whoosh—big to bash through walls. Newton would have a field day with this, I’m sure. Alters physics and all, you see.
Here’s a quick rundown of what we’re dealing with:
- Size-Shifting Chaos: Mold yourself, find sneaky routes, and mess with traps.
- Brutal Play: If you love challenges, you’ll dig this. Die a lot, restart fast.
- Crafted Dreams: Handmade levels! Nordic folklore meets suburbia meets medieval—who decided on this mash-up?
- Interactive Places: Move stuff around with your magic powers—like a dreamscape puzzle.
- Story Bits: Collect knick-knacks to uncover what the heck happened to Morpheus.
- Visuals & Tunes: Low-poly graphics (hipster talk, anyone?) and a haunting sort of soundtrack.
So, yeah, this thing’s launching on the Nintendo eShop. Worldwide, mind you. Super easy to get lost in someone else’s nightmare.
Also, there’s apparently a demo trailer floating around somewhere. Not gonna lie, I haven’t seen it. Maybe it’s on YouTube? Or maybe I just made that up. Anyway—no—wait, that’s it.
