Hey yall! Im very excited to announce that She Dreams Elsewhere will officially be premiering on Xbox Game Pass for Console and PC on DAY ONE! You can check out the official announcement video revealed at X019 here: [previewyoutube=oPFPk5_OFs0;full][/previewyoutube] Im very excited and grateful to be working alongside Microsoft on this. Xbox has been a huge part of my gaming life since I was a kid, and the ID@Xbox team has been nothing but supportive of my vision, so much love goes out to them! At the risk of sounding like a shill, Game Pass is a really dope feature that Ive personally received a lot of usage out of, so Im extremely happy that many more people will be able to experience the game in this format. Not only that, but this opportunity means I can focus squarely on the games final quality throughout the rest of development and further expand the resources Ive got to work with. The game is only going to get better from here, so I hope you all continue to look forward to its release next year. And dont fret; She Dreams Elsewhere will still be available to play on Steam, PC, Mac and Linux (and more!) on launch day as well, so you can play whichever way youd like! For those of you attending X019 this weekend, enjoy yourselves and stay safe! (And if you stop by the games booth there, be sure to snap a pic for me, yeah?) For everyone else, feel free to keep up with the game via social media (Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Discord) or give the game a nice little wishlist on Steam, it helps out tremendously. See ya soon!

Hey y'all! Hope y'all have been doing well. Just a brief little update for today that I should've posted awhile ago but oops:
First off, She Dreams Elsewhere will be playable at the Game Devs of Color Expo this Saturday, July 27th! Not only will there be a few goodies and a surprise announcement, but I'll also be personally speaking on a panel about hip-hop and gaming with Shawn Alexander Allen, Mega Ran, Sammus and Mike Eagle.
If you're in the area, definitely stop by and check out all the other dope games and talks! Again, it's on Saturday, July 27th from 11am-6pm at the Schomburg Center in Harlem, NY. There's also a chill afterparty at Babycastles right after the event at 7pm; you should definitely check that out too if you can.
I've also been thinking about doing a vlog of sorts while I'm in New York, too. I've always wanted to showcase the actual experience when it comes to going out of town and showcasing at these events, and since this particular tripped is packed with all kinds of adventures, I figured this would be the perfect time to start. What do you guys think? Lemme know in the comments or thru my social media channels.
Finally, the new Studio Zevere website is live. It's still missing some stuff, such as the archived blog posts, but it's a good start. Check it out and lemme know what you think so far!
That's all for today, more dope news coming this weekend (and beyond)! To keep up with the NYC trip in real-time, you can follow the game on Twitter or Instagram (and/or even my personal one too) ;)
Talk soon! <3

Hello everyone! I've got some exciting news for y'all today.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpdnT_LJ5Wk&feature=youtu.be
Very excited to finally announce that She Dreams Elsewhere is a 2019 Indie Megabooth Official Selection, and will be playable at this year's Game Developer's Conference (GDC) from March 18-22! I've known about this for a little while now, and since being in the Megabooth has been a dream of mine ever since I started the game, it's been hard keeping quiet for so long. Cat's out of the bag now. ;)
Not only that, but a full, brand new trailer will be dropping within the next few weeks (as well as the new cover art), and the demo playable at GDC will contain all-new, never before seen content. I hope you all look forward to it, and if you're at GDC, come on by! The game will be playable in the Moscone Center, on the 2nd level of the West Hall, and is open to all GDC badge types. Feel free to come on through, I'd love to meet you. (And you can check out the other games as well!)
Much love to everyone who has contributed (ESPECIALLY Mimi and Yanina, love y'all <3), played, shared, and otherwise supported the game throughout these years. I can't express my gratitude enough. The game still has a ways to go, but we're nearing the finish line. More updates to come very soon!
You can check out the game's page on the IMB website here.

Hey guys! Thank you so much for the support over the past few days; the demo's reception has been nothing but incredible and I'm super hype to finish the rest of the game now.
I'm also super psyched to announce that the game was recently covered by Polygon! (also talked about in podcast form here - starts at 17min).
Enjoy! <3

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful and filling Thanksgiving. Im super excited to announce that the playable demo for She Dreams Elsewhere will launch next week on WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5th! Itll contain the first hour of the game and should get across the general vibe Im going for. Youll be able to download and play it via here on Steam, itch.io or RPG Maker.net when it releases. Also, the postmortem for DreamHack Atlanta will be dropping later this week as well! I hope you all look forward to it; I loved the event and I cant wait to share my experience with you all. Oh, and before I forget, poll for you guys how would you all feel about a behind-the-scenes development vlog? Kind of a like a more personal, smaller-scale version of Double Fine Adventure, with stuff like map creation timelapses, design processes, tutorials for RPG Maker, maybe even a livestream or two Ive got a ton of ideas for it. Ive set up a Strawpoll, so please let me know your thoughts. See ya, uh later this week. Heh. D

🎮 Full Controller Support
Welcome to your coma. Enjoy your stay!
SHE DREAMS ELSEWHERE is a surreal adventure JRPG about dreams and the extent to which they mirror reality. You play as Thalia Sullivan, a high strung, anxiety-ridden, comatose woman on a journey to defeat the nightmares preventing her from awakening, while also finding out how exactly this mess happened in the first place.
But some nightmares are harder to confront than others…
- A deeply personal narrative with heavy themes and a rich personality of its own
- A surreal, visually-striking world brimming with mystery that begs you to explore its every detail
- An easy to learn, yet difficult to master turn-based battle system that pits you against a variety of nightmarish beings
- Customize your characters with the “Mask” and “Charm” systems, allowing for a wealth of different playstyles and battle strategies
- Status ailments that can be used and abused with every enemy, bosses included – but be warned; if you’re not careful, they can devastate you just as easily…
- Three difficulty modes for those who want to simply experience the story (Easy), face a true challenge (Normal) or have their limits pushed to the edge (Nightmare)
- Optional “New Game Plus” and “Developer Commentary” modes
- A fully original, ethereal soundtrack composed by Mimi Page
- OS: Ubuntu 14.04 or Steam OS 2.0 (64 bit)
- Processor: Intel Core2 Duo or better
- Graphics: OpenGL 4.1 capable GPU
- Storage: 300 MB available space
