Other

Queen is the protagonist of the video game Other, an indie horror adventure where players navigate a surreal and unsettling dreamscape.

Little concrete information is revealed about Queen's life outside of the dream world. She is presented as vulnerable and easily frightened, struggling to comprehend the increasingly bizarre environment surrounding her.

Her actions within the game are driven by a primal need to survive and escape the nightmarish entities that populate the dream. Queen relies on the guidance of cryptic messages and the occasional helpful figure to piece together the rules of the dream and find a way back to reality.

Players connect with Queen through shared vulnerability and a desire for safety. The character remains largely a blank slate, allowing players to project their own interpretations and fears onto her as they navigate the unsettling narrative of Other.
