## What is AWAKE?

It was supposed to be a romantic trip… but turned into a brutal murder scene. When Marc and Caroline planned their romantic getaway, they didn’t know that it would turn their lives into jeopardy. Can you find a way to prevent this terrible crime and put the murderer to justice? Or will you forever be stuck in this horrific time loop?

AWAKE is an award-winning entry to Adventure Jam 2016 and has been majorly overhauled for its Definitive Edition. There’s a murderer out to get you, and it’s happening again and again. You’re stuck in a time loop – will you find a way to escape?

We recommend finishing the game in one sitting. It takes about as long as a TV episode. 

“Awake immediately captures the player's attention with confident and stylish visuals, high quality voice acting and an elegant user interface, to the extent that you'd be forgiven for forgetting you were playing an entry to a game jam. But where it truly excels is in the “ah-ha” moment, when you realise that it's stepped beyond the bounds of a well-produced adventure, and into the realm of innovative game design.“ – Joseph Humphrey of inkle.

Full English speech, with the option for subtitles in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian or Brazilian Portuguese.

### 4/5 — Short but Sweet

*2025-11-12, version 1.2*

A highly engaging free game, with polished visuals and talking characters. Although the game is short and leaves you wanting a more comprehensive narrative, one shouldn’t complain when one doesn’t have to pay! Enjoy this 10-20 minute play that can be extended if one focuses on getting all the trophies!

### 5/5 — Lucailser@

*2024-10-03, version 1.2*

Ottima grafica,bel gioco,e i disegni bellissimi

### 1/5 — Help

*2024-08-31, version 1.2*

It seems like a good game, but I can’t play it because the buttons appear off screen. I wish I could adjust the size

### 1/5 — What a dumb game

*2024-08-16, version 1.2*

Title says it all, it's an absolutely stupid game. Entire thing takes maybe 15 minutes...paper thin plot, obtuse puzzles, terrible feedback on your actions.

**Spoilers**

The entire premise is ridiculous. Apparently the killer is the jilted husband, this is handwaved with "he can be a little crazy I guess", absolutely no more motivation or depth than that. 

He uses a freaking *blow dart* to incapacitate you, how utterly campy is that? Then you spend the next 5-10 minutes fumbling with random objects (that doesn't go together, nope that won't work, etc) until you construct a Rube Goldberg death machine using combination of gas and soap and a knife or bear trap or whatever on the dock.

Multiple points have zero feedback, I used a broom on a door and then just had to stand there for like two minutes, just tapping my phone screen to keep it from sleeping before randomly a blow dart comes through the window and everyone just dies.

Other stupid random things:

The killer is apparently using your car to kill you (how did he get the keys??), it's very clearly a hatchback with a giant glass window in the back, and yet when you're in the trunk it's pitch black? I thought hey let's use the wrench to bust the glass, but no, protag can only think to "dismantle the tires" which would take too long apparently. But stabbing them with a knife randomly gets you the solve. 

Then the big ending where the killer blindly drags you to a dock and slips and falls on your soap gas onto an upturned knife?? LO freaking L.

Remember, the killer is using a *blow dart* to tranq you in the neck. Apparently the worlds strongest dart that can shatter glass windows. Why not just....stand away from the window? Maybe cover your neck?

Just a stupid game top to bottom. Feels like an unfinished demo concept, no depth at all.

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-07-23, version 1.2*

A short and sweet point-and-click adventure. If your stuck, try tbh. You'll be rewarded when you see the kiiler, and take him down for the first time. Hint: use the knife.

### 1/5 — 10минут

*2024-03-20, version 1.2*

Так описывали эту игру, что просто супер, а по факту сюжет крайне короткий, догадаться что Нужно делать легко (кто уж там про кучу концовок пишет-ну не знаю), следующих уровней нет

### 5/5 — Fantastic game but you need to understand how it works

*2024-02-12, version 1.2*

Time loop games, excellent thought and gameplay. Check steam guides or walkthrough if you can’t figure it out…

### 1/5 — I shouldn’t have had to pay

*2023-07-01, version 1.2*

I don’t see anywhere on this game where you charge for it.  I downloaded it and all of a sudden I have to pay for it? That’s wrong

### 3/5 — Хмм

*2023-05-05, version 1.2*

Хоть и интересная затея, но короткая настолько что даже не успеваешь погрузиться. Так бы новых уровней или развития истории.
Кому понравился жанр и формат - рекомендую игру «12 минут». Там правда поживее требуется действовать.

### 5/5 — Мало

*2023-04-14, version 1.2*

Делайте новые уровни
