Skybound & “Before Your Eyes” Creators Announce “Goodnight Universe”

Skybound Games and Nice Dream, the Los Angeles-based studio recently founded by the co-creators of the BAFTA Award-winning Before Your Eyes, have announced their latest collaborative project: Goodnight Universe. The newly revealed title will take part in this year’s Tribeca Games Festival, part of the Tribeca Film Festival.

In the game, “you’ll play as Isaac, a six-month-old baby developing mysterious psychic abilities. What you want most is to be loved and accepted by your family, but a secretive tech corporation wants you for their own. The game will also feature an immersive “face-tracking” mode, expanding on the innovative use of camera-based technology that the team is known for.”

Before Your Eyes debuted on PC in 2021 before coming to mobile via Netflix, as well as VR as part of PlayStation VR2’s launch slate. The title won the Game Beyond Entertainment prize at the BAFTA Awards. It was also nominated in the Games for Impact category at The Game Awards, as well as for Best Narrative at the DICE Awards.

A “spiritual follow-up” to Before Your Eyes with a sci-fi twist, Goodnight Universe will fuse impactful storytelling with mechanics that push the boundaries of interactive entertainment. The Nice Dream team reunites numerous notable talents behind Before Your Eyes while bolstering the roster with new foundational additions to the studio’s growth.
