The wait is over! Arena Royale has officially landed in Splitgate: Arena Reloaded, and it’s rewriting the rules of the genre.
Think you know Battle Royale? Think again. We’ve stripped away the “looting for 20 minutes” and replaced it with pure, unadulterated Arena Shooter chaos. ### What to Expect:
The Shrinking Arena: No more running across empty fields. The zone closes fast, forcing tactical portal plays in tight quarters.
Loadouts Ready: Start with the heat. It’s about your movement and aim, not who found the better crate.
Vertical Mayhem: Use your portals to outmanoeuvre the competition and take the literal high ground.
Last One Standing: It’s fast, it’s frantic, and it’s the ultimate test of your Splitgate skills.
Whether you’re a portal-pro or a fresh recruit, the Arena doesn’t discriminate—it only rewards the fast.

Get ready to step into a world woven from grief and imagination. “As I Began to Dream,” the upcoming puzzle-platformer from developer Strayflux, isn’t just a game—it’s an emotional journey through a visually stunning dreamscape. If you’re looking for a title that mixes clever mechanics with a heartfelt narrative, this is one you need on your radar.
A Journey Through the Limbo of Grief
At the heart of the game is Lily, a young girl tragically dealing with the loss of her parents. She finds herself trapped in a mysterious dream world—a kind of limbo where she must confront and navigate the manifestations of her past trauma.
Her only companion? Her adorable, flying turtle friend, Flippy! Together, they embark on a journey of self-discovery, seeking acceptance and peace within this beautifully melancholic realm.
The Core Story: Lily and her flying turtle, Flippy, must face past trauma and navigate grief by controlling the environment of their dream world.
The Art of Manipulation: Gameplay Mechanics
What makes “As I Began to Dream” truly unique is its central gameplay mechanic: environment manipulation. Lily possesses a unique power that allows her to:
Swap: Exchange the positions of different blocks or sections of the world.
Rotate: Turn entire segments of the environment.
Move: Shift platforms and puzzle elements around.
These powers are key to solving the game’s intricate environmental puzzles. You’ll need to think outside the box (or inside the dream!) to restructure the world, creating new pathways and overcoming obstacles. This mechanic not only provides a fresh challenge but also beautifully mirrors Lily’s internal struggle to process and re-frame her experiences.
Hand-Drawn Beauty and Atmospheric Sound
Visually, the game is a feast for the eyes. Strayflux has crafted the world with a gorgeous hand-drawn aesthetic that gives every scene a soft, almost painterly quality. Each dream world Lily visits is distinct, reflecting different aspects of her life and trauma.
Complementing the visuals is a peaceful, almost melancholy soundtrack, featuring over 20 original tracks. This rich audio-visual experience ensures that players are fully immersed in Lily’s emotional and mysterious world.
Why You Should Be Excited
Innovative Puzzles: The swap and rotate mechanic offers a fresh take on the puzzle-platformer genre.
A Deeply Emotional Story: It tackles themes of grief, trauma, and acceptance with sensitivity and depth.
Stunning Art Direction: The rich, hand-drawn visuals are captivating and memorable.
Cosy Companion: Who doesn’t want an adventure with a flying turtle?
“As I Began to Dream” is shaping up to be more than just a game; it’s an interactive piece of art that promises to tug at your heartstrings while stimulating your mind.
“As I Began to Dream” is expected to be released on PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch on November 19-20, 2025. A free demo is often available on Steam for those who want a sneak peek!
