Dream Games is developing Goodnight Universe, an innovative narrative adventure
to release in 2025.

COPENHAGEN – April 4, 2025 - 5th Planet Games A/S (OAX: 5PG), the video game
financier behind hit games like Escape Academy, WrestleQuest, and Invincible
Presents: Atom Eve, is excited to join Skybound Games in financing the release

powers.

Developed by Nice Dream Games, Goodnight Universe releases later this year on
PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and recently announced, Switch 2.

The game will feature an immersive “face-tracking” mode, expanding on the
innovative use of camera-based technology that the Nice Dream Games team is
known for.

baby with psychic powers,” said Mark Stanger, CEO, 5th Planet Games. “The title
was met with positive reception at the 2024 Tribeca Games Festival, where the
team revealed an impressive lineup of voice talent. Nice Dream is effectively
building on the success of Before Your Eyes and we are thrilled to be working
with this talented team again to bring Goodnight Universe to narrative game
fans.”

The leading voice cast of Goodnight Universe includes Lewis Pullman as the main
character Isaac, and Kerri Kenney-Silver, Al Madrigal, and Tessa Espinola as
