About The Entry

One of our favorite parts of working in the games trailer industry is working with smaller, indie game studios to help bring their visions to life. Smaller budgets may mean not having access to extravagant production funds, but they are perfect for coming up with creative and inventive approaches to storytelling. This authenticity forges a closer bond with the audience, generating genuine excitement and curiosity that can surpass even the most bombastic of big-budget trailers.
A Dream About Dreaming captivates audiences with its arresting style, combining elements of retro-futurism and surrealism to create a haunting and visually stunning piece. Our meticulous attention to detail, razor sharp cuts, and the atmospheric audio all contribute to a unique aesthetic that sets this piece apart from its competition.
Utilizing a variety of gameplay moments, this piece taps into deep-seated fears and existential themes, creating an atmosphere of unease and introspection. The evocative sound design, haunting soundtrack, and expertly crafted editing all contribute to a sense of tension and anticipation designed to resonate with viewers on an emotional level. This release date trailer is a harbinger to the horror/survival experience that is Signalis, leaving a mark on viewers that lasted far beyond the release date itself, and resulted in this being a huge hit for Humble Games in 2022.
