Step Inside a Dreamland in Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass
Electric Airship and Starseed Games have announced that Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass will arrive on consoles on 5th February 2026. It will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. This console release adds new levels, enhanced visuals, a fresh font, a CRT filter, expert difficulty mode, new enemies, and other improvements.
A solo creator from Texas developed Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass, a Japanese-style RPG that draws heavily from classic Super Nintendo-era titles such as Earthbound, Final Fantasy V, and the Breath of Fire series, with additional inspiration from Yume Nikki. The game follows eight-year-old Jimmy as his dream world is disrupted by an alien entity threatening his family and the dream itself. To save them, Jimmy embarks on a surreal journey, confronts nightmares, explores strange landscapes, and learns to rely on his family while facing his own fears.
The game features traditional turn-based combat with modern touches, as well as a strong focus on exploration. Jimmy can empathize with monsters, temporarily transforming into them to interact with the world in new ways. Players can also level up these transformations, unlocking stronger abilities and improved stats.
The story is a unique mix of childlike perspective and adult themes, balancing humor with unsettling horror. Players can expect a full-length RPG experience that combines emotional storytelling, imaginative gameplay, and the eerie charm of classic JRPGs, all wrapped in a dreamlike, otherworldly atmosphere.
Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass promises a journey that is at once whimsical, challenging, and haunting, inviting players to step into the mind of a child facing both wonder and terror.
