From the BAFTA-winning creators of Before Your Eyes, Los Angeles-based Nice 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 of Goodnight Universe.
