Hello!I am very happy to be able to release Harmony: Dreamy Autumn Available now for Xbox Series X|S. It’s a narrative adventure with two colorful worlds, diverse characters, and a compelling story. I hope everyone will enjoy it.
Harmony: Dreamy Autumn was born from one concept: being able to see upcoming narrative branches and act accordingly through the choices you want. From this mechanism came the idea of dreams as fuel for future action, dreams as lenses for observing and analyzing the complex world in which we live and care. We knew from the beginning that this game would be set in a slightly futuristic world. Close enough to our world to tackle modern problems, but far enough to give us more creative freedom.
Building the Reverie, home to an ancient god-like being known as Aspiration, was the next logical step in connecting gameplay mechanics and narrative intent, but it was also the most difficult step. bottom. Dreams and Desires was meant to give Polly (and you) a broader, almost metaphysical view of the world.
But we didn’t want this realm to feel overly sacred. It had to be fragile and withered in the face of the dreamless system of capitalism. It was also the solution for bridging the gap between this expansive gameplay, suited for big choices and even bigger consequences, and the intimate story we wanted to tell.
We decided to portray Brittle (the real world) as a bright and vivid world where social problems are invisible. Meanwhile, the land of Reverie is cold and dry, dotted with ruins resembling past civilizations, reflecting Brittle’s lack of dreams. It all lends itself to the idea that dreams are a place where hope can be found when all seems lost, where great things are born out of emptiness. Reverie thus serves as a series of paths to help Polly navigate her complicated life, and her aspirations serve as guides to help her find her own voice.
We based Aspirations on several myths and psychological theories, including Spiral Dynamics and pop culture classics like The Sandman and Inside Out. It needed to feel broken and authentic, not like the all-powerful Greek gods. It gave them more personality and helped portray them as magical deviant beings who, despite being immortal, still struggled with their communities. Their struggle mirrors what’s happening in Brittle, and helps tie Polly’s quest with her quest for aspirations.

We found it difficult to embody two worlds simultaneously in our narrative system. The difficulty lies in balancing the narration between Brittle and Reverie, and it took several iterations before deciding to make Brittle the main setting of the game. So, whenever Reverie’s story comes to the stage, it feels important and intimately tied to Polly’s personal history to spin a thread that affects humanity.
I hope you enjoy this story and take as much inspiration from it as you did Polly from Reverie throughout her travels.can play Harmony: Dreamy Autumn Starting today on Xbox Series X|S.
