Nice Dream’s Goodnight Universe has added another accolade to its list, taking out Best International Game at SXSW Sydney. The announcement arrives alongside news that Australian pre orders are now live for the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 physical editions. Skybound Games is set to release the boxed versions on 9 December. Each copy includes the base game plus digital codes for the soundtrack and an artbook featuring original artwork from the Nice Dream team.
Goodnight Universe follows Isaac, a 6 month old baby who begins developing mysterious psychic powers. On camera compatible platforms, players can opt into a “camera as controller” mode that uses eye movement and facial expressions, expanding on the studio’s previous work with camera driven interaction.
The game is complemented by a cast which includes Lewis Pullman voicing Isaac, Kerri Kenney Silver, Al Madrigal, and Tessa Espinola portraying members of his family. Supporting roles include Beau Bridges, Timothy Simons, and Sarah Burns.
